In each case I have attempted to distinguish whether a hoard was personal or belonged to a merchant or founder, by adding the letters P, M, or F. Where two of these letters occur, the hoard seems to come under either category. It is possible that some of those characterized by a P may be sepulchral.
Appended to the tabulated lists is a more detailed account, mentioning some of the principal features in each case, and giving references to the works in which the discoveries are recorded. Of course this is to a great extent a repetition of what has been recorded in previous pages. It must be observed that the numbers given in the lists do not always refer to entire objects but frequently to fragments only. Where the numbers are unknown the presence of the objects is shown by an x.
