(The <i>ΠOTHC </i>are the ones that probably wouldn&#039;t fit, one example has <i>ΠOH </i>and another <i>Π</i>.) (And a few odd characters that seem like engraving errors. I&#039;m not terribly familiar with it, but I guess that may not&nbsp; be unusual for late Byzantine coinage.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Hendy seems to have first given that exact legend transcription in his 1969 <i>Coinage and Money in the Byzantine Empire </i>(page 244, no. 34.1 &amp; 2), cataloging the same coins numbered 56.1 &amp; 56.3 in DOC vol IV.2.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://archive.org/details/docoins-4/DOCoins_4-2_WEB/page/508/mode/1up" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://archive.org/details/docoins-4/DOCoins_4-2_WEB/page/508/mode/1up" rel="nofollow">DOC IV part 2, pages 508-509</a>, 56.1-5:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1454783[/ATTACH]</p><p>Hendy (1969) page 244, 34.1 &amp; 2 (if you don&#039;t have <a href="https://scribd.com/doc/161979543" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://scribd.com/doc/161979543" rel="nofollow">Hendy 1969</a> -- superseded by DOC anyway -- it&#039;s on Scribd if you subscribe):</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1454782[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
