To the right of the legend was an emblem in the form of a prora. Originally the first line contained the astynomic title; the second line contained the name of the astynomeus Delphios, expressed in the generic form; the third line is his patronymic; the fourth line contains the name of the manufacturer Agathon II, in the nominative. 2nd half of the 3rd century BC.
