Explanatory Notes

This Greek transcription is similar to one I have seen used on Usenet newsgroup soc.culture.greek.

Forms that look like the original Greek letters are favored only: 9 letters are shown per line, consistent with Classical Greek numeric values.

Alternative English transcriptions are shown in parentheses.
