Kroll 104; Svoronos pl. 106, 81.

Svoronos attributed many small Æ to the Cleruchs on Delos but excavations at the Agora have disproved most of his attributions. As Kroll states, "One of the exceptions is Artemis/Plemochoe Æ 4 (104), which, although probably minted at Athens, seems to have been consigned for circulation on Delos."
