An interesting 1 Uncia (૪A) scale weight arrived today. It has letters on the top and side. I need some help translating the letters on the side: OY AΓAΠHT. One Uncia Byzintine bronze barrell weight, 4th to 6th centuries Obv - ૪A Rev - blank with centering dot Side - OY AΓAΠHT Seller translated the side to say the magistrate’s name: Agapetos. 28.0 grams; 18 x 14 mm Can someone here translate the letters on the side? I do not find the letter combination, OY AΓAΠHT, in the scale weight web site - pondera.uclouvain.be. A google search gives lots of part numbers for electronic stuff. I do not know how the seller read the Greek letters. When I search for Agapetos in pondera, I found one weight. The pondera description says it is a magistrate's name. The pondera weight: ARCHAEOLOGICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE WEIGHT AUTHORITYL. Septimius Stat[..] a.k.a. Agapetos, agoranomos (Laodicea) MINT Laodicea ad Mare DENOMINATION = 1 Libra = 1 Litra
