Reverse description Harpocrates, depicted with the lower body of a crocodile in the syncretic Alexandrian tradition, stands facing left, wearing the double crown (skhent) of Upper and Lower Egypt. The deity raises the index finger of his right hand to his lips in his characteristic gesture of silence, while his left arm cradles a cornucopia. An Egyptian altar is placed before the figure in the left field. The nome designation ΜΕΝΕΛΑΕΙΤ identifies this issue as belonging to the Menelaites nome, with the regnal year Η (year 8) completing the reverse legend.
