Commentary
Ce type était décrit comme un quart de litra ou seizième d’once plutôt qu’une demi-litra (D. Sear), mais correspond bien à un tetartemorion ou quart de litra (cf. Vecchi 3, 13 septembre 1996, n° 19). Ce type semble beaucoup plus rare que ne le laissent percevoir les ouvrages.
This type was described as a quarter of a litra or sixteenth of an ounce rather than a half-litra (D. Sear), but corresponds well to a tetartemorion or quarter of a litra (cf. Vecchi 3, 13 September 1996, no. 19). This type seems much rarer than the works suggest
