Epigraphic and Papyrological Abbreviations
For Classical Greek epigraphy I adhere throughout this work to the Revised Leiden Conventions for suggested by Krummrey & Panciera (1980). Transcription of Linear B sources follows the modified Leiden system standard to Mycenaean epigraphical practice, and transliterations are cited from their forms found in DMic. unless otherwise indicated. The most important K-P Leiden sigla are the following:
