^{page 595 note 1} £1,100,000, of which £600,000 went to Arabia and £500,000 to India (cf. Mommsen's Provinces of the Roman Empire, ii, 299–300).

^{page 598 note 2} Colonel Yule (Smith's Ancient Atlas) says that there was a beryl-mine at Vāṇiyambāḍi, which is 150 miles or so east of Paḍiyūr, in the modern District of Salem. In this he follows Newbold, M.J.L.S. xii (July, 1840), p. 175.

^{page 600 note 1} Vitellius is said to have spent seven millions sterling in “vulgar and brutal sensuality” during his few months' reign. The quotation is from Merivale, who writes:—“The degradation of Rome was complete; never yet perhaps had she sunk so low in luxury and licentiousness as in the few months which followed the death of Otho.”

^{page 608 note 1} It would appear that no full examination has yet taken place of this board, which came to light last year.

^{page 609 note 1} I have been attempting to trace these coins, but up to the present have not succeeded. Mr. Thurston, Superintendent of the Government Central Museum, Madras, tells me that after Mr. Scott's death his collection was, by his will, offered to that institution for examination and selection ; and Dr. Hultzsch informs me that it was he who looked through it and made the selection. He found no Roman coins amongst them. I infer, therefore, that the Roman coins from Madura, or at least some of them, had been sent to the Museum at an earlier date, since Mr. Thurston writes (April 22nd last): “ There is no complete list of Roman coppers found at Madura issued. There are some in the Museum collection.” My statement in the text may therefore be accepted as substantially correct, though I am not in a position to give any details.

^{page 611 note 1} Proleg. i, xvii: παρ τν ντεθεν εἰσπλεσαντων κα χρνον πλεῖστον πλθοντων τοὺς τπους κα παρ τν κεῖθεν φικμενων πρς μς, “ From those that sailed thither and frequented those places for a long time, and from those who came from thence to us.” The latter phrase seems intended to include natives of India visiting Rome.

^{page 612 note 1} Kosmas, writing in the sixth century A.D., states that copper was produced at Kalliane, or Kalyāna (book xi), but this does not appear to be confirmed by Balfour. The South Indian places mentioned in the Cyclopœdia are Nellore, Ongole, Kālastrī, Venkatagiri, and Kurnool. Mr. Bruce Foote adds two places in the Bellary District, and I have been told of copper workings at Guṇṭupāliyam, near Vinukoṇḍai n the Kistna District.

^{page 614 note 1} I think that Captain Tufnell was too well-informed to have confused these with the little coins found in South India, probably Chera or of Chera origin, which have devices of Indian figures standing and holding long spears, or bows, in their hands.—R. S.

^{page 625 note 1} Kalliyamputtūr is close to the Coimbatore District boundary. Sixty-three coins were found in 1856, in a pot in the ground. Forty-nine have been catalogued, and are included in this list. It is not known what became of the remainder.

^{page 633 note 1} Mr. Thurston calls it simply an “aureus (solidus) of Theodosius.” I class it under Theodosius II, solely because another coin of that emperor has been found. It may be one of Theodosius I.

^{page 633 note 2} See note 1. As the other aurei found with it are all of later date, I apprehend that this coin was one of Theodosius II.
