Svoronos' catalogue number 1001 describes tetradrachms with a portrait of Ptolemy I, a cornucopia symbol in reverse left field, and the legend ΠΤΟΛΕΜΑΙΟΥ ΣΩTHPΩΣ SOTHPOS. This category covers issues of more than one mint. They are partially disambiguated in Coinage of the Ptolemaic Empire (2018). The disambiguation is completed here. The present study also provides new information about patterns of die use and circulation, estimates the volume of the emissions, and considers their role in financing the Third Syrian War.
