a border city the evidence of an inscription is to be preferred.f
The only coins certainly attributable to Calynda are of bronze
(nos. 3-8, Pl. x. 13-15). Some of the coins have been read ΚΑΔΥΑ

of Calynda. The silver coins here catalogued under Calynda
(nos. 1, 2, Pl. x. 12) are attributed by Imhoof-Blumer+ to Selge.
This attribution is supported by the fact that the letter K occurs
on bronze coins of Selge; but, in the absence of further evidence,
it seems to me probable that K is here the initial of the city-name.
