Xenon |
Second magistrate attested in Athens in 70/69 BC. From Melite. Belongs to the same family as his colleague Epigenes (first magistrate of this issue), he is probably his brother (Thompson 1961, pp. 563 and 577). Maybe he and Epigenes are identical with the brothers of the same name, who were known as ephebes in 80/79 BC - in this case they would have held the magistracy in their younger days (Habicht 1991, p. 14). Lit.: M. Thompson, The New Style Silver Coinage of Athens (1961) nos. 1237-1240 / her issue 93 (p. 577); C. Habicht, Zu den Münzmagistraten der Silberprägung des Neuen Stils, Chiron 21, 1991, p. 6 (70/69 BC, his issue 95); Prosopographia Attica 11333; P. M. Fraser - E. Matthews, A Lexicon of Greek Personal Names II Attica (1994) p. 348 s. v. Xenon, no. 33; W. Leschhorn, Lexikon der Aufschriften auf griechischen Münzen II (2009) p. 724 s. v. Xenon. |
