I have a Greek book, with the preface numbered in Greek numerals (cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greek_numerals).
I assume that I would follow RDA 3.4.5.2, "Record pages, etc., that are numbered in words by giving the numeric equivalent" and record: 15, 418 pages and add a note: "Pages 1-15 (first sequence) numbered with Greek numerals." Though it looks like the record will validate in OCLC if I record: ιεʹ, 418 pages. Is there a preference? I would note that there are other instances in which a books page numbers would be recorded in other numeral systems: Arabic (using real Arabic numerals, not our so-called "Arabic numerals"), Hebrew, Devanagari, etc. Thanks, Ben Benjamin Abrahamse Cataloging Coordinator Acquisitions, Metadata and Enterprise Systems MIT Libraries 617-253-7137
