Betacode

*(upe\r tw=n o(/lwn a)narriptei=n.

Notes

Adler identifies this phrase (from dice-playing: see generally LSJ s.v. a)narri/ptw, II) as a quotation, transmitted in her view via the Excerpta Constantini Porphyrogeniti. Be that as it may, it is otherwise unattested in this precise form.
cf. generally alpha 2047.
