Exegesis
The second coordinated phrase, kai he epigraphe {καὶ ἡ ἐπιγραφή | kaí hē e-pi-gra-phē}, parallels the first, pairing the visual feature (image) with the textual feature (inscription). In translation, the possessive interrogative “whose” is supplied for the second noun to keep clear English parallelism, while maintaining the two coordinated elements that highlight the coin’s bearer and authority.
Root and etymology
epigraphoe-pi-gra-phō
