I knew the significance to mark some passages in litterature , but was unknow about coins . Are there other Ptolemieswith XP coins , or is it only with coins of Euergetes ? A few weeks ago,there was a very nice Ptolemeos III coin AE 41 to buy by Dionysos ; Very nice but very expensive :€238 .

About the XP , if it is the abbreviation of the Greek word chrestos as in litalberterature , meaning good , honest , powerful and a lot other positive things , then it can be relate to Ptolemaios III Euergetes ,wich means benefactor and it has to be read as chrestou .
