Comments	This king is normally called Sapadbizes, but EVERY coin of his I have ever seen spells his name Sapalbizes (the Λ - as opposed to Δ - is very clear on this coin, at about 2:00). This is consistent with other Scythian kings such as Spalahores, Spalirises and Spalagadames. All the coins of Sapalbizes are RARE, and the obols are much rarer than the hemidrachms.
