PRE-970 DIRHAM HOARDS FROM ESTONIA AND LATVIA, I:
CATALOG

This catalog constitutes the first of several articles on the dirham hoards from
Estonia and Latvia whose most recent coins date to the period before 970.1
Subsequent articles will discuss some of the basic problems involved in the
analysis of these hoards and will provide a detailed, numismatic examination of
the Estonian and Latvian hoards during the period c. 800-c. 900 and 900-970.
The catalog of the pre-970 dirham hoards from Estonia and Latvia is meant
to serve several purposes. First of all, it is an essential source for any discussion
of the hoards themselves. The catalog provides the interested reader with the
data from which the introduction, analysis, and conclusions were all derived.
Secondly, the materials on the dirham hoards from the southeastern Baltic are
found in a variety of studies, some of which are not readily accessible. The
catalog thus attempts to assemble in one place the materials contained in num-
erous works published over the past century or so. Henceforth, those interested
in these hoards will hopefully find the information they seek in the more readily
available form of this catalog. Finally, l have attempted to provide as much
data as possible about each hoard. Most of the studies published since World
War I which treat the dirham hoards from Estonia and Latvia have tended to
describe these hoards very succinctly. As a result, much important and necessary
information about the coins in these hoards is simply omitted. The limited data
found in these overly abbreviated accounts is not adequate for serious research.
While our catalog does not provide all the available data on each dirham, it is
designed to meet the needs of those readers who wish and need all the essential
information on the coins from Estonian and Latvian dirham hoards. In short,
the catalog is both a necessary complement to the detailed analysis found in
this series of articles and an independent work which can be utilized by all
those wishing to study the pre-970 dirham hoards from the southeastern Baltic.
Short of describing each dirham in great detail, there is no perfect way to
itemize the coins in any hoard. Since space limitations have made it impos-
238 JBS, VoL VIII, No. 3 (Fall, 1977)

Pre-970 Dirham Hoards 239
sible to list each dirham in every hoard individually, I have tried to devise a
format for condensing the maximum data into the minimum space. After
several experiments, the following system was adopted. Each Roman numeral
indicates a specific dynasty while the Arabic number in parenthesis following
the dynasty gives the total number of dirhams of that kind. The dirhams of one
dynasty or type are arranged by ruler, mint, and year. When more than one
mint exists for a given ruler, semi-colons are used to separate the coins of each
mint. When there are many coins from a given reign, the ruler's name has been
italicised and the total coins from the reign are given in parenthesis after the
name.
At times, we possess numerous dirhams from a given mint issued during the
reign of one ruler. In such cases, I have abbreviated the description by simply
giving the total number of dirhams and the dates of the oldest and most recent
identified dirhams. Parentheses are placed around a ruler's name if the dirham
dates from his reign but our sources do not give his name for some reason
(i.e., the name was effaced, illegible, cut off, etc.). The sources often use a
question mark to indicate that the name and/or mint and/or year, while probable,
cannot be defin!tely determined. In so far as possible, I have retained these
question marks. It is hoped that this format will provide all the essential informa-
tion in the most expeditious fashion. The above format has been modified where
the few remaining dirhams from a hoard are described in the text.
In conclusion, a few comments on terminology would be appropriate. Dirham
was the name given to the silver coin in the Islamic monetary system-the gold
coin was called a din~r. The earliest Arabic dirhams were imitations of Sasanian
drachms but, following the monetary reforms of 'Abd al-Malik in 698, the use
of Pahlevi was abandoned and all inscriptions were in the Kfific style of Arabic
script. As a result, scholars have long referred to the post-reform dirham as a
Kfific coin. In recent years, however, many specialists in medieval Muslim
numismatics have preferred the more accurate term dirham to the traditional
appelation of Kfific coin. The standard weight of the post-reform dirham was
2.97 grams although, starting in the mid-ninth century, the weight of the dirham
began to vary. For further information see G. C. Miles, "Dirham," Encyclopaedia
of Islam, n.e., 2 (1965), 319-320.
NOTE
1 These articles are based on a paper presented to a session on ancient and medieval
Baltic history at the Fifth Conference on Baltic Studies, Columbia University, New
York City, May 20-23, 1976. Professor Archibald Lewis of the University of Massa-
chusetts, who was the discussant at that session, offered several very useful suggestions.
The author would like to express his special thanks to Michael Bates of the American
Numismatic Society who kindly agreed to evaluate both the original paper and this
catalog. His extensive comments have been of great assistance. Finally, I would be
remiss not to thank Joan Fagerlie and the staff of the Inter-Library Loan Division
at the University o f Minnesota who have obtained so many important numismatic
publications for me over the past several years.

Livonia
1 In Livonia (Livland), before 1828. In 1828, 38 coins from a hoard found

somewhere in the Province of Livonia were sent to C. M. Fraehn. They
belonged to ten different 'Abb~sid caliphs and two .Tahirid amirs and were
dated from 751/52 to 871/72. The mints included: al-KUfah, Surra man
ra'a, Madinat al-Sal~m, al-Basrah, N i . s ~ , H~ron~bad, Arminiyah, al-Muh.m-
madiyah, Isbah~n, Zaranj, Ni-s~bUr, Mary, Balkh, and Samarqand. References:

Latvia
2 S~raji, in L~agi, Dist. of Talsi, 1930. A hoard of 57 dirhams (27 whole,

30 fragments) was found. Two coins were sold and 55 reached the museum.
The hoard was identified by E. A. Paxomov in 1947 and is now preserved in
Latvijas PSR V~stures muzejs, 101126:1-51. The oldest coin is an Umayyad
dirham of 698/99, while the most recent dirham dates from 863/64. Refer-
ences: Urt~ns 1964, p. 59 & pp. 71-72, No. 27; MugureviEs, pp. 24-25, No. 1
& pp. 23-26; Kropotkin 1971, p. 94, No. t98.
Unfortunately, the hoard has not yet been published. According to Mugure-
i~s, the 27 dirhams which were identified are distributed as follows: 4 from
the 2nd half of the 7th c., 5 from the 2nd half of the 8th c., 11 from the
1st half of the 9th c., and 7 from the 2nd half of the 9th c. Mugurevi~s also
notes that 90.9 percent of the dirhams in the hoard were 'Abb~sid, 37 percent
of the dirhams were issued in the 840's and 850's, and that the hoard had a
few very early Umayyad dirhams.
3 Uo~ni, in Sv~tciems, Dist. of Valmiera, 1937. A coin-treasure hoard was
found. The two dirhams in the hoard were identified by E. A. Paxomov
in 1947 and are now preserved in Latvijas PSR VEstures muzejs, 101128:
1-2. One is an Umayyad dirham of 710/11 and the other is an 'Abb~sid
dirham of 792•93. According to Mugurevi~s, the two silver, spiral-like brace-
lets found in this hoard should be dated, by analogies from Gotland, to the
period 850-950. The hoard as a whole is, thus, dated to the 10th c. Refer-
ences: Mugurevi~s, pp. 24-25, No. 2 and p. 22, n. 6; Kropotkin 1971, p. 94,
No. 200.
Given the existence of only two coins in the hoard, 1have followed tradition
and included it as a dirham hoard very reluctantly.
4 I|~i, in Grobioa, Dist. of Liep~ja, before 1827. Three 'Abbhsid dirhams of the
242 Journal o f Baltic Studies
period 833/34-852/53 were found on the farm Ilgi, near Grobi0a. References:
Fraehn, p. 110, No. 23b; Frank, p. 387, No. 18; Markov, p. 15, No. 85; Ame,
p. 77; Friedenthal, No. 107; Janin, pp. 100-1, n. 1 & p. 102, No. 27; Urt~ns
1964, p. 49 & p. 71, No. 14; Mugurevi~s, pp. 24-25, No. 3 & p. 23.
The 3 dirhams were: al-Ma'mfin, Madinat al-Sal~m, 833/34; al-W~thiq, Surra
man ra'a, 844/45 ; al-Mutawakkil, Madi-nat al-Sal~m, 852/53.
The circumstances of the find are not described. As a result, it is not clear
whether these 3 dirhams composed part of a hoard which has now been lost,
as Urt~ns suggests, or whether they were merely chance coin finds.

5 N~vessala I, in Daugmale, Dist. of Riga, 1915. A hoard of 160 dirhams (37
whole, 123 fragments) was found in a clay pot on the left bank of River
Daugava near Jaunlive, by J. PurioL The hoard was identified by E. A.
Paxomov in 1947 and is now preserved in Latvijas PSR V~stures muzejs,
101116: 1-160. The oldest coin was an 'Abb~sid dirham of 797/98 and the
most recent-a S~m~nid dirham of 912/13. Urt~ns believes this hoard may
well have constituted part of a larger hoard which also included Nos. 6 & 7
of this catalog. References: Mugurevi~s, pp. 24-25, No. 4;Urt~ns 1970, 94-95;

S~m~nid dirhans and 10 unidentified fragments. However, his catalog places the
10 unidentified fragments with the S~m~nid dirhams.

6N~vessala II, in Daugmale, Dist. of Riga, 1915? In the Latvian archives are
photos of a hoard containing 5 bronze Roman coins and 96 dirhams (7 whole,
89 halves) which was found by J. Purio] under the same circumstances as the
N~vessala I hoard. This second hoard, sometimes referred to in the scholarly
literature under the name Ikg!~ile, has not been preserved, but the dirhams in
the photos were identified by I. G. Dobrovol'skij. The oldest coin was an

'Abb~sid dirham of 848/49? and the most recent coin was a S~m~nid dirham
of 913/14. Urt~ns believes that this hoard may well have constituted part of
one larger hoard which also included No. 5 and 7 of this catalog. References:

7 N]vessala III, Daugmale, Dist. of Riga, 1915? A hoard of 55 dirhams (20 whole,
34 halves, 1 fragment) was found by J. Purio~ under the same circumstances as
the N~vessala I and II hoards. This third hoard, which was not identified,
perished during the Second World War. Urt~ns believes this hoard may well
have constituted part of one larger hoard which also included No. 5 and 6
of this catalog. References: Urt]ns 1970, 89-99.
8 Kaol~umi, in Dundaga, Dist. of Talsi, on the shores of the Venta River, 1933.
A hoard of 38 dirhams was found. It was purchased in 1936 by the Bureau
for the Preservation of Antiquities and transfered in 1940 to the Latvian
State Historical Museum in Riga. The coins were identified by E.A. Paxomov
in 1947 and are now preserved in the Latvijas PSR V6stures muzejs, 101127:
27. The oldest coin was an 'Abb]sid dirham of 862/63 and the most recent
coin was a S~rl~nid dirham of 914/15. References: Paxomov, 5 (1949), p.

9 Grobioa, Dist. of Liepaja, 1796. A pot was found containing over 100 whole
dirhams, numerous coin fragments, and a silver bar. The hoard was purchased
in 1796 and sent to be melted down but some of the coins were saved by "lovers
of numismatics." Only a few of the dirhams were identified: Fraehn and Mark-
ov list 8 while Mugurevi~s, following Frank, says 13. References: Fraehn, pp.

10 Kugl~i (V~rgale, Wirginalen, Kuschke), in Grobioa, Dist. of Liep~ja, 1896 or
1897. A coin-treasure hoard of 108 dirhams (54 whole, 54 fragments) was
found at the Ku~tfi farmstead along with 5 silver, spiral-shaped bracelets. The
coins were identified by Baron Tiesenhausen. The oldest coin was an 'Abb~sid

According to Vasmer, this hoard consisted of 1 'Abb~sid, 1 Saf~rid, 100
S~m~'aid, and 6 imitation dirhams. I have followed Vasmer's figures for the
dynastic distribution. Since the differences between Markov and Frank are
not substantial, I have followed Markov's account, which reflects the analysis
of Tiesenhausen.
11 Riga, 1950. During construction work, a large clay jug with around 300 coins
was found. Only one coin from the hoard was identified: a SAm~niddirham,

12 Talsi, 1822 or 1882. Mugurevi~s, with references to Frank and Markov, lists a
hoard containing one dirham of 901-932 found here in 1882. Frank mentions
246 Journal of Baltic Studies
a Sasanian drachm of Khusraw which came from Talsi in 1822, while Markov
reports that an Ispahbad coin was discovered in 1823 near Talsi. Our sources
do not make it clear what kind of coin was found at Talsi, when it came to
light, and, most important, why it should be described as part of a hoard.

13 In Livonia, near Riga, around 1790. Thirty-six "Kufic" coins were reportedly
unearthed near Riga. No further information on these coins is available. This
is the first recorded dirham hoard from Latvia. References: Fraehn, p. 29, No.

14Berkava (Borkowitz), Dist. of R~ga, no date given. A hoard of 140 dirhams,
which was buried sometime in the tenth century, was discovered here. No

15 Vanam6isa (Friedrichshof, Saue), Harju maa, 1913. A hoard of almost 1000

dirhams and 7 silver arm-rings was found. The hoard, as published by Vasmer,
contained 923 coins (312 whole or nearly whole dirhams and 611 fragments).
Eight fragments were lost between the time of the hoard's discovery and its
publication. Vasmer, however, had made a preliminary description of 5 of
these fragments, all Volga Bulgar dirhams, and thus could include them in
his account. The other 3 fragments disappeared without any record. Ten of
the remaining fragments fit together in pairs forming 5 whole coins. Thus,
Vasmer published 915 coins: 923 minus 3 lost fragments and minus 5 frag-
ments which formed parts of other coins in the hoard. Sixty-three coins
from this hoard were purchased by P. W. Zubow for his own collection.
Unfortunately, Vasmer had no description of these dirhams. Vasmer also
believed that the 13 dirhams from Saue published by Ernst Frey (see No.
16 of this catalog) belonged to the Vanamoisa hoard since they were found
at almost the same time in the same place. The figure of 996 total coins
for the hoard given by Friedenthal is apparently the result of adding
920+13+63. The more correct figure would seem to be 918 (923
less 5 fragments from other coins) +13 + 63 = 994 total. While the 13
dirhams from Saue are listed separately in this catalog, they have been
considered as part of the VanamSisa hoard in our analysis and tables. The
oldest coin in the hoard was and 'Abb]sid dirham of 834/35 and the most
recent coin was a S]m~nid dirham of 951/52. However, 3 dirhams whose
exact date could not be determined may have been issued between 951/52
and 954/55.
This is the largest dirham hoard from the southeastern Baltic thus far
discovered and preserved. References: Vasmer 1925; Vasmer 1928; Friedent-

16Saue, Harjumaa 1913. A hoard of 13 dirhams was found. The coins were
identified by Ernst Frey who believed the hoard might also have included
a few Russian and/or Byzantine coins. The oldest dirham dated to 895]96 and
the most recent to 935]36. Vasmer felt, with good reason, that these 13
dirhams formed part of the large VanamSisa hoard (No. 15 of this catalog).
Therefore, while listed as a separate hoard in this catalog, the 13 dirhams
are considered as part of the VanamSisa hoard in the analysis and tables.
My description of the hoard follows Vasmer, whose account differs somewhat
from that of Frey. References: Frey, 84; Vasmer 1925, 114-6;Vasmer 1928;

17 In the former Estland province, near Tallinn, before 1841. An earthen vessel
containing 12 dirhams was found. The coins, described by T. C. Tychsen,
were preserved in the Museum of G6ttingen Univ. The oldest coin was an
Umayyad dirham of 716/17 and the most recent dirham dated to 942/43.

According to Markov, the hoard contained 7 Umayyad and 'Abbasid
dirhams, 4 S~m~nid dirhams and 1 Izlamd~niddirham (Fraehn says 8 Umayyad
and 'Abb~sid dirhams and 4 S~m~nid) while the mints represented included:
Dimashq,-W~sit, Madinat al-Sal~m, al-Muh.ammadiyah, al-Sh~sh, and Andar~-
bah. Although the mint on one coin was effaced, it was most likely an African
dirham struck in Bad'a.
18 Paunktila I, Harjumaa, 1956. A neckline with 10 dirhams hanging from it was
found. The coins were identified by A. A. Bykov. The oldest coin was an
'Abb~sid dirham of 803/04-808]09 and the most recent coin was a S~rn~nid
dirham of 934/35. References: A. A. Bykov,"Kufi~eskie monety o~erel'ja iz

III. Imitation Dirhams (2):
Some scholars would not consider this a coin hoard; coins attached to
jewelry are sometimes viewed as part of a treasure hoard.
19 Kavastu II (Kawast), Virumaa, 1882. A hoard of almost 1000 dirhams was
found, of which Prof. Erman saw about a tenth. Among these dirhams were
many S~m~nid as well as some 'Abb~sid and Buwayhid coins, almost all
from the first-half of the fourth century H. (912/13-961/62). The most
recent coin seen by Erman dated to 969/70. Among the coins which he
observed, Erman noted a dirham of the 'Abb~sid caliph al-QT~hir, I.sbah~n,
933, the fragment of a S~m]nid dirham from Balkh, 932•33, with the names
of am~r Nasr b. Ah.mad and his son NGh, and the fragment of a barbarian
imitation. Frank listed six coins which seem to have come from this hoard:
Buwayhid (1): Mu'izz al-Dawlah, 'Askar rain al-Ahw]z, 941/42-950/51 ;
'Abb~sid (5): ar-R~.di, unknown mint, 934/35.2 'Abb~sid? fragments.

29 Arabic coins buried c. 975 but gives no source for this information.

20 Kohtla (Kochtel), Virumaa, 1923. A hoard of some 500-600 dirhams was
found of which 481 were identified. The oldest coin was an Umayyad dirham
of 715/16 and the most recent coin was an 'Abb~sid dirham of 837/38. W.
Anderson and R. Vasmer published the bulk of the hoard (470 dirhams) in
1926. Two years later they published an additional 11 dirhams from the
hoard. References: Anderson; Vasmer 1926, p. 292, No. 42; Walter Anderson

coins. Friedenthal and T6nisson indicate that the hoard contained 28 Arabic
coins but the source of this figure is not clear. Only three dirhams from the
hoard were identified: S~m~nid, Nasr b. Ahmad, Samarqand, 937/38, and
(Mans.fir b. Nfih), Samarqand, 966•67; Buwayhid, Mu'izz al-Dawlah (Ah.mad
b. Bfiwayh) and 'Imad al.Dawlah ('AII b. B~wayh), al-Ahw~z, 945/46.

23 V~i~inikvere, Tartu raion, Ugandi, 1930's. A hoard of 489 Arabic coins from
the tenth century was found. No further information is available and the
hoard has apparently not yet been identified. Reference: Tbnisson, No. 68,
p. 198 and pp. 244-5.
24 Vesneri (Weslershof), near Tartu, before 1838? Markov reported that S~m~nid
dirhams were found here: IsmUfl b. Ahmad, al-Sh~sh, 895/96,903]04. A.hmad
b. Ism~'fl, al-Sh~sh, 910111. Na.sr b. Abroad, Samarqand, 913/14, 915/16,
917118. N~/~ b. Na.sr, Samarqand, 934/35,935]36,951/52; al-Sh~sh, 938•39,
943/44 [Nasr b. Ahmad was amir from 913/14 to 942]43]. Although Markov
provided no information on the circumstances of their discovery, Janin
considered these 11 dirhams a coin hoard. In his discussion of the dirhams
found in Vesneri, Frank mentioned 6 S~n~nid dirhams which A. H. Hansen
apparently noted in an 1838 work as having been discovered in the environs

of Tartu (Ism~'il-b. Ah.mad, Samarqand, 895]96; unknown mint, 903]04.
Na.sr b. A.hmad, unknown mint, 913]14; Samarqand, 917/18. At the time of
caliph al-R~di [Na.sr b. Ah.mad], mint and year unknown. N~.h b. Nas.r,
Samarqand, 951/52). Frank also mentioned that the hoard register of F.
Kruse included the following Vesneri dirhams: 'Abb~sid, al-Musta'in, Samar-
qand, 866/67; S~m~nid: Ism~il b. Ahmad, al-Sh~sh, 895]96,903/04. Ah.mad
b. Ism~'il, al-Sh~sh, 910111. Nasr b. Ahmad, Samarqand, 913114, 915116,
917/18. Nfih B. Na.sr, Samarqand, 935/36, 951152. Unknown mint, 934/35,
943/44 [Na.sr b. Abroad was ami-r 913[14 to 942/43]. (Na~r b. Abroad), al-
ShUsh, 938]39; al-Kfifah, 940141. All the dirhams reported by Markov and
Hansen seem to be included in Kruse's register.
To add to the confusion, an 1871 source (Verhandlungen der Estnischen
Gesellschaft, VI, H. 3-4, p. 174, No. 13-14) mentioned two finds, reported
in 1839, of S~m~nid dirhams from Vesneri: (1) Ism~d b. Abroad, 903•04 and
Nasr b. Ah.mad, 934/35; (2) Nas.r b. A.hmad, Samarqand, 913/14; unknown
mint, 917] 18. Abmad b. Isrn~'il, 910/11. (Na~r b. Ahrnad), Samarqand, 915/16.
The 4 dirhams from the second Vesneri find apparently coincide with 4
of Markov's dirhams from Vesneri. At the same time, Friedenthal and V.M.
Potin believe that the 4 dirhams from the second Vesneri find were part of
a mid-1830's hoard of 4 dirhams and 1 Anglo-Saxon coin which was buried
around 1025 in Vesneri.
Given the great similarity of all the dirhams from Vesneri and the lack of
adequate information about the circumstances under which they were found,
it seems best to omit this "hoard" from our analysis. References: Frank, p.

The above account follows the description of the hoard found in the archives
of the Numismatic Section, Institute of Archaeology, Estonian Academy of
Sciences, TAAM 13751/86. The accounts in Frank and Markov are a little
different. Frank is fairly close-150 total dirhams, predominantly S~rn~nid, with
5 'Abb~sid, 2 Buwayhid, and 1 H.amd~nid dirhaha. Frank, however, notes 2
Volga Bulgar dirhams Of AmTr Barmat [B~rm~n?] and only 1 .Saff~rid coin which
leaves 139 S~m~nid dirhams. There are also minor discrepancies in the description
of the coins within each dynasty. Frank, for example, gives the earliest 'Abb~sid
coin as a dirham struck in Balkh in 783/84 (167 H. rather than 187 H.), provides
no mint f o r t h e Mu'tamid and Mu'tadid dirhams, dates the Mu'tamid dirham to
267 H. rather than 277 H., and omits the mint and Sayf al-Dawlah's name for the
tzIamd~nid coin. The only Saff~rid dirham he lists is of 'Amr b. Layth, ShTr~z,
896/97. The discrepancies in the accounts of S~m~nid dirhams are also not
serious: Frank notes 15 dirhams of Ahmad b. Ism~'il (not 14) and he only gives
the date of one. There are minor differences in the number of coins per mint
for each SSm~nid amTr and 4 barbarian imitations (not 3) are mentioned. Ac-
cording to Frank, one of the S-arn~nid dirhams from Samarqand bears the name
of Mik~71 b. Ja'far who was, in fact, an anaTramong the Volga Bulgars.
Markov's account is based on the 93 dirhams sent to Baron Tiesenhausen fo~
identification. Among them were 3 'Abb~sid, 1 Saff~rid, 1 Buwayhid, and some
68 S~n~nid dirhams. In addition, there were 20 miscellaneous coins: 2 imitation
dirhams of Nasr b. A.hmad, 1 Mik~'Tlb. Ja'far without year or mint, 14 completely
effaced coins, and 3 barbarian imitations of S~rnSnid dirhams. Markov also
mentions the 4 whole coins and 4 dirham halves of Na.sr b. Abmad discovered
at the find-spot in Meckshof.
Based on the above information, it appears that about 150 dirhams from the
hoard were identified. The 5 'Abb~sid, 1 I:Iamd~nid, and 2 Buwayhid dirhams
were most likely those listed above. It seems there was only 1 Saff~rid dirham
('Amr b. Layth) while at least one (Mika-'il b. Ja'far) and perhaps 3 dirhams
(2 anaTr Barmal = B~rm~n?) were Volga Bulgar rather than S~m~nid. The number
of S~m~nid dirhams is unclear since many of the completely effaced and illegible
dirhams seem to be catalogued, in some accounts, as S~m~nid. It is perhaps best
to state that the hoard was overwhelmingly composed of S~rn~nid dirhams
struck between 897/98 and 947/48, primarily in al-Sh~sh and Samarqand.
Vasmer noted that no accurate catalog of the Mekshof hoard was published
with the result that it was impossible to compose a completely accurate picture
of its contents. Vasmer's description of this hoard is: mainly S~rn~nid, a few
imitation dirhams, 2 pieces of "B~rm~n", 1 Mike"r, 1 .Saffarid, 1 Hamd~nid, 1
or 2 Buwayhid and a few 'Abb~sid.
Given the three divergent accounts, the figures for this hoard found in the
analysis are only approximate.
27P01tsamaa II, PSltsamaa raion, M6hu, 1939. A hoard of about 500 Arabic
coins (196 whole and 320 fragments) was found in a clay pot. No further

'AbbSsid dirhams is not clear. Most later authors have followed Markov's figures
without noting that 12 'Abb~sid dirhams are unaccounted for.

33The former Livland province, near Tartu/Dorpat, 1885. Fourteen dirhams
were found in different places in the ground ("v razli~nyx mestax v zemle")
and shown to Markov. The oldest coin was an 'Abb~sid dirham of 768/69
and the most recent coins were S~rn~nid dirhams of the tenth century.
Janin considers the 'Abb~sid and Idffsid dirhams as part of a hoard tentatively
dated to the first-third of the ninth century. There is nothing in Markov's
account to indicate that some of these coins came from an early ninth century
hoard. In fact, Markov's description suggests that the coins may have come
from several different places around Tartu. Thus, we cannot be certain that
these coins, or even some of them, were ever part of a genuine dirham hoard.
