Berytos, being part of Phoenicia, was under Ptolemaic control until 200 BC. After the battle of Panion, Phoenicia and southern Syria passed to the Seleucids. In the 2nd century BC, Laodikeia issued both autonomous and quasi-autonomous coins. The autonomous bronze coins had Tyche on the obverse. The reverse often had Poseidon or Astarte standing on the prow of a ship, the letters BH or ΛΑ and the monogram Φ, that is, the initials of Berytos/Laodikeia and Phoenicia, and, on a few coins, the Phoenician legend LL'DK' 'S BKN 'N or LL'DK' 'M BKN 'N, which has been read as "Of Laodikeia which is in Canaan" or "Of Laodikeia Mother in Canaan." The quasi-municipal coins—issued under Antiochus IV Epiphanes (175–164 BC) and continuing with Alexander I Balas (150–145 BC), Demetrius II Nicator (146–138 BC), and Alexander II Zabinas (128–123 BC) – contained the king's head on the obverse, and on the reverse the name of the king in Greek, the city name in Phoenician (LL'DK' 'S BKN 'N or LL'DK' 'M BKN 'N), the Greek letters ΛΑ, and the monogram Φ. After c.123 BC, the Phoenician "Of Laodikeia which is in Canaan" / "Of Laodikeia Mother in Canaan" is no longer attested.


  • Phoenician: 𐤋𐤋𐤀𐤃𐤊 𐤀𐤔 𐤁𐤊𐤍𐤀𐤍, romanized: LL'DK' 'S BKN 'N, lit.'Laodikeia in Canaan'

Berytos, part of Phoenicia, remained under Ptolemaic control until 200 BC. After the Battle of Panium, Phoenicia and southern Syria passed to the Seleucids. In the 2nd century BC, the city, then known as Laodikeia, minted two main kinds of coins: civic issues in its own name and issues that also acknowledged the reigning Seleucid king.

The civic bronze coins showed Tyche on the obverse. The reverse often showed Poseidon or Astarte standing on a ship's prow, together with the letters BH or ΛΑ and the monogram Φ, abbreviations referring to Berytos/Laodikeia and Phoenicia. A few also carry the Phoenician legends LL'DK' 'S BKN 'N or LL'DK' 'M BKN 'N, usually understood to mean "Laodikeia in Canaan" or "Mother Laodikeia in Canaan".

Coins struck under Seleucid rulers such as Antiochus IV Epiphanes, Alexander I Balas, Demetrius II Nicator, and Alexander II Zabinas instead placed the ruler's portrait on the obverse. Their reverses named the king in Greek and the city in Phoenician, along with the letters ΛΑ and the monogram Φ. After c.123 BC, the Phoenician formulas "Laodikeia in Canaan" and "Mother Laodikeia in Canaan" are no longer attested.

"Died at Sea"

To the Editor of The Tribune. Sir: William F, Stoutenburgh died at sea on hoard of the Helvetia, bound from Liverpool to New-York, age twenty-two years, He was born at Chester, Morris County, NJ, prepared for college at Shooley's Mountain Seminary [Schooley's Mountain, New Jersey], of which his father, the Rev, L[uke] I. Stoutenburgh [1815–1891], was principal. He graduated with distinguished honors at Princeton College with the class of 1879. He was, at the early age of twenty, called as instructor in the Syrian Protestant College at Beirout, Syria, where, after nearly two years of successful teaching, his failing health made necessary his return to his native land, which he nearly reached. His objective point was the Gospel ministry; but he wished first to enrich his mind by the study of Oriental languages, the history of ancient philosophies and extensive travel, the latter of which he had in a large accomplished, having visited almost all the prominent places of interest in the Old World. Numerous friends, with anxious solitude, awaited his arrival, only to receive the painful intelligence that on Sabbath morning of the 17th inst. he departed this life to his final rest in Heaven, amid the kindly sympathies of strangers, who at 12 o'clock on the same sacred Sabbath, with impressive religious services, conducted by the Rev. Dr. Woodhall, buried him in the deep sea. A Mourner. New-York, July 22, 1881.

If Governor Woodrow Wilson's desire to come to Washington to reside March 4 is approved by the American people, he will find at least two classmates in this city. One is Associate Justice Mahlon Pitney, of the United States Supreme Court. The other is Prof. George W. Johnston of tho George Washington University. Charles W. McFee, another of the class of '79 of Princeton, lived in this cltv before he went to Delaware and became active in politics there.
Governor Wilson's class is called the most famous Princeton has graduated. To begin with there is Governor Wilson himself, and although now unquestionably the most noted member of this class he has had something of a race for the honor. Cyrus H. McCormick, head of tho Harvester trust, was a classmate, and so was Sleveland Hoadley Dodge, a New York banker of prominence who is said to have put up a good deal of the money in the Wilson campaign. The late C. C. Cuyler, another New York banker, was well known as a philanthropist.
Robert Bridges, editor of Scribner's; the Rev. Thomas Cuming Hall, the theologian; Dr. Samuel Alexander, the surgeon; Robert Archer, of Bel Air, Md., well known in Maryland politics, Harold Goodwin and Frank S. Presbey, magazine editors, are other prominent members of the class of '79.
