During the greater part of the fourth century the coins struck at
Tarsus bear the names of the satraps who from time to time ruled
Cilicia or organised from its ports the various naval expeditions against
the revolted provinces of the Persian Empire.

Tarsus. Inscr., lTi'in in Aramaic letters.
The following coin of Tiribazus, with a Greek inscription, may also
have been struck at Tarsus, though its rude style of art seems to point
to some less important Cilician mint.
