Epigraphic Sources for Early Greek Writing

4.1 Putting Papers and Photographs Together

Taken together, the papers and photographs in the archive can add substantially to the brief notes on individual inscriptions discussed in LSAG. The following selection, intended to illustrate the potential of this resource, relates to texts catalogued in the section in LSAG on the Ionic Islands (pp. 303-308):

Naxos 3 (LSAG p. 304; IG XII 5, 2, p. xxiv; IDélos 1)
