TRANSCRIBER'S NOTES
In the texts of Greek inscriptions, original letter forms have been
normalised as follows:
Lunate epsilon ϵ (the usual form in the inscriptions), curly
epsilon Ɛ (in the plate facing p. 235), and two reversed lunate
epsilons ϶ (both probable misprints) have been replaced by
ordinary epsilon Ε.
Lunate sigma Ϲ (the usual form in the inscriptions) and
rectangular sigma ⊏ (in the inscription on pp. 118 and 149) have
been replaced by Σ.
ω-shaped omega (the usual form in the inscriptions) has been
replaced by Ω.
Inverted mu ꟽ (throughout the inscription on p. 130) has been
replaced by upright mu Μ.
ου-ligature ȣ (in the inscription on pp. 118 and 149) has been
replaced by ΟΥ.
In the illustration facing p. 232 the columns illustrating Chinese
characters in the caption are ordered from top to bottom then from
right to left across the columns.
Silently corrected simple spelling, grammar, and typographical
errors.
Retained anachronistic and non-standard spellings as printed.
Enclosed italics markup in _underscores_.
