Transcriber's Note

| inserted by the author to represent the end of a line of carving on a document or monument. Sometimes | occurs in the middle of a word, indicating the word has been split by a line-break.

In the all-caps Greek text, the book preserves some different Greek letter-forms.

Compare the capital theta with a cross at the top of p. 77, and theta with a dot at the bottom of p. 130.

There is a V-like upsilon on p. 77, l. 7: , and Y-like upsilon on p. 77, l. 12: ΔΑΣΙΜΟΣ ΠΥΡΡΟΥ.

There is a capital lunate sigma: Ϲ, and an alpha with a v-shaped crossbar on p. 202: ... ... and on p. 161, as a marking in silver on an ounce weight, , with another symbol .

And there is the zeta like a rotated H: on p. 6, upper case Ϙ and lower case ϙ Koppa (Qoppa) (Footnote 24 etc.), and the Digamma (wau, stigma) Ϝ, ϝ, ϛ (see below).

C.I.L. is abbreviation for '_Corpus Inscriptionum Latinarum_'.

'Inscrr.', 'reff.': a double consonant signifies plural.

Some missing or damaged punctuation has been repaired.

Any illustration which intersected a paragraph, e.g., at a page turn, has been moved to a more convenient position. Some illustrations have been moved closer to their descriptive text, for better on-line and Ebook clarity.

Page 6: From Wikipedia: "Many local variants of the Greek alphabet were employed in ancient Greece during the archaic and early classical periods, until they were replaced by the classical 24-letter alphabet that is the standard today, around 400 BC. All forms of the Greek alphabet were originally based on the shared inventory of the 22 symbols of the Phoenician alphabet,... (https ://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archaic_Greek_alphabets#Summary_table)

The Ancient (before the 5th century B.C.) letter for Zeta resembled an H on its side ( = Ζ).

Page 198: From Wikipedia (https: //en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digamma):

Digamma, waw, or wau (uppercase: Ϝ, lowercase: ϝ, numeral: ϛ is an archaic letter of the Greek alphabet. It originally stood for the sound /w/ but it has principally remained in use as a Greek numeral for 6. Whereas it was originally called waw or wau, its most common appellation in classical Greek is digamma; as a numeral, it was called episēmon during the Byzantine era and is now known as stigma after the value of the Byzantine ligature combining σ-τ as ϛ .... In modern Greek, this is often replaced by the digraph στ.
