Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: Archaic Greek abecedarium, mid-6th century BC, found carved in a rock surface in Attica. Drawn and coloured by me after Merle K. Langdon (2005), A New Greek Abecedarium, Kadmos 44(1–2): 175–182. Text reads: [bottom, retrograde (blue):] ΑΒΓΔΕϜΖΗΘΙΚΛΜΝΟ, [left edge, turned sidewards (red):]ΠϺϘ, [top, turned (green):] ΡΣΤ, [top, left-to-right (purple):] ΥΧΦ. This is said to be the first known native Greek example of an abecedarium containing both Sigma (top row, green) and San (left edge, red) together in an abecedarium, and the first known attestation of San in Attica. It also shows an uncommon curved form of Digamma (bottom, 6th character from the right). |
