II. _Aeginetan and Euboic Silver._--The coins of these systems can be

easily calculated from the Attic, according to the ratios given in

Table XI., No. 1. As thus calculated, the Aeginetan Talent was equal

to 406_l._ 5_s._, and the Euboic was equal to 338_l._ 10_s._ 10_d._,

and the Drachmae were equal respectively to 1_s._ 4¼_d._ for the

Aeginetan, and 1_s._ 1½_d._ + ⅕ of a farthing for the Euboic.

III. _Grecian Gold._--The values of the Grecian gold money cannot be

conveniently reduced to the tabular form; they will be found in the

articles STATER and DAREICUS.
