A bit of the oral history of the images: I noticed something disturbing in one of the images Ken sent me---I don't know if this is in your repo or not, Peter. But if you zoom in on the letters you will notice that image has been doctored such that there is an array of light blue rectangles over the...

Given that the Farrer theory proposes the Lucan writers had a copy of Mt, Ken, why would they have used Mk at all, when Mt had double the content and in better Greek? Would you propose something like, "well, first they only had Mk and worked on it, then a copy of Mt came along, so they pilfere...

Could you run it again with this image? I can certainly wait until tonight to see the results. Wait no longer....feast your eyes upon: ken_hi_res.png Ok, we have both requested blobs (can you tell which is which? Top is the gymnastic example, bottom is the other iota) From left to right we have: 1....

I have heard from a couple experts here myself. They have noted (a) that the character here starts out going southeast/northwest [atypical for sigma], (b) that the stroke is unbroken [not observed in sigmas], and (c) that the accent placed directly over the character is indicative in this case. A f...

Could you please do the same thing with the higher quality image of the disputed character from III 18? Sure, however, the sample for III 18 you gave in the last post (https://earlywritings.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=172091#p172091) was a lower quality image than the one for 1 9. (zoom in, you'll se...

Here is perhaps a better quality image of the Iota from συμφωνοίη in I 9 Yeah that image was very high quality. Here's what I get: ken_iota.png From left to right: original cropped image, sobel-transformed image, and the top few percent darkest pixels. Recall, the darkest pixels will be awarded hig...

And the character in dispute from III 13:
Best,

Ken

If not, if you could just mark the ones you want to compare on the high-resolution images from Hendrick et al., I'd be happy to.

Like I said, I don't want to prejudice the issue, so I won'd do the same for the gymnastic example---try it yourself and see what you get. I do not think this answers the point AdamKvanta raised. If by 'gymnastic example' you mean the letter under discussion on III 18, I think you have to discuss t...
