Three oboli. GREEK TRIOBOLON SIGN

Ancient MusicalMany of these overlap with existing letters or signs, but they form a set, so that provisionally the existing letters have been kept here. Note that only twoof the three major surviving musical theoretical tractates have been entered at the TLG; the third (Alypius) should be scrutinized before any finalproposal.The names of the symbols are taken from Alypius (although archaic letter names have been normalized, e.g. OU becomes OMICRON.) The signs asattested in the manuscripts are often confused, and inconsistent with the names; we are following the editorial normalized forms of the symbols, ratherthan what is actually attested in the individual manuscripts.In the following listing, canonical Greek letters are included for completeness, but will not be included in any final Unicode proposal; they should beconsidered unified with the normal Greek alphabetic letters.
