Here is the requested note:
"The lot under consideration included only didrachms, but since the
hoard seems to have included smaller
denominations as well it is worth pointing out that it vindicates the Arabian attributions of the drachms of
Trajan as well as the Cyrenaican one of the drachms and hemidrachms with
Zeus Ammon, alluded to in
Metcalf, "
Tell Kalak," p. 94, and independently by D.R.
Walker, who provides a full enough treatment at
Metrology 2, pp. 112-13. Since the information is likely to escape record elsewhere, in April 1989 I saw two drachms of the
type in the
collection of Dr. R, Linkfield of Trenton, N.J.; he recalls their acquisition during a visit to Lybia years ago."
Some thirty years ago I personally handled a smaller size AE of
Trajan /
Zeus reported to be found in Lybia by an
Italian nun.
