e f♯ g a b c♯ d e
Reading edition
If, as I ventured to suggest on p. 90, the mode is the Hypo-phrygian (the scale of our Major mode, but with a flat Seventh), the key-note will be a. The close on the Dominant e will then have to be noted as a fact supporting the belief that in Greek music the close on the Dominant or Hypatê was the usual one (see p. 45).
The line drawn under the three symbols is found in several other cases where the melody gives more than one note for a syllable. So (l. 2), and (l. 3), and (l. 4). It does not appear however under (l. 1).
