Akmoneia, a Phrygian city of modest political weight, occasionally named local magistrates on its bronze coinage — a practice that turns otherwise anonymous civic issues into prosopographical evidence. Menodotos appears as the responsible magistrate here, his name preserving a Hellenistic naming convention still common across western Anatolia well into the Roman provincial period. Silion likely denotes a secondary official or ethnic designation, though the pairing's exact administrative meaning remains debated among specialists in Phrygian civic epigraphy.
