tri/bwn ortribw/nion , see tau 954, tau 958. LSJ Suppl. registers the diminitive gammation as a variant of the equally rare gammatiskon, an 'ornament on official dress' in John Lydus. However, Theodoridis draws attention to the possibility that the word here might be, more mundanely, grammatia "little letters". ↩ - 2Damascius, Life of Isidore fr. 135 Zintzen (88 Asmus); see also upsilon 198. ↩
