Extract

Mr. Bryant, in his vindication of the Apamean Medal[a], seems not to be sensible of any other objection to his hypothesis than that taken notice of by the anonymous author there alluded to; though this writer appears so little acquainted either with medals or Greek (for if we retain his reading, ΟΓ. B. APXI. becomes inexplicable), that he scarcely seemed worthy of the notice of a gentleman so eminently distinguished for his learning and abilities. But those who are more conversant with this branch of science entertained doubts of the authenticity of the letters N.Ω.E. and even of the medal itself, nor were the letters N.H.T.Ω.N. on the medal of Sezerus, free from the same suspicions.
