- Comment
- J. Warren (Warren1983, pp. 41-43) generally dates Group 4 chalkoi with the legend ΣΙ after those with Σ, and the serifs also indicate a late date in the range ca. 330-200 BCE. She speculates that historical events at the end of the 4th c. or around the second quarter of the 3rd c. might have occasioned the shift.
