Hello Roger, it is not true that only the hours were marked with Greek letters and not the lines, see f. i. the pictures of Byzantine sundials on my page http://www.antike-sonnenuhren.de/fotosbyz.htm. Best wishes, Karlheinz

This sundial has unequal hours marked with Greek letters, Alpha, Beta, Gamma Delta etc. My pictures in this waymark gallery show the letters clearly. See http://www.waymarking.com/waymarks/WM837M_Roman_Sundial_Ephesus_Turkey and view the pictures in the gallery. Also note that the hours are marked: first hour, second hour etc, not the hour lines. Regards, Roger Bailey From: Dariusz Oczki Sent: Friday, April 16, 2010 5:18 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Greek hour notation on ancient sundials Dear Dialists Is there any recognized internet recource on Greek hour notation on ancient sundials? I only know they had a different (non-numberical) system of hours marking. Can anyone help me with this? -- Best regards Darek Oczki 52N 21E Warsaw, Poland GNOMONIKA.pl Sundials in Poland http://gnomonika.pl --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
