Summary

Description
English: Marble inscribed slab with musical or numerical symbols. AM Lavrion, ML 90. Rectangular marble slab from Limani Passa bay. It Was discovered in the northwest part of the Agora of the Salamians, wich belonged to the ancient deme of Sunion and was in use from the end of the 4th century BC until the 1st century AD.

Two interpretations:

1. As a musical couplet in wich the first line is in the Sublydian chromatic mode and the second alternates between Dorian and diatonic Lydian mode.

2. As an abacus for finantial calculations and commercial transactions in the agora. The inscribed symbols stand for integer and decimal numbers.


Čeština: Mramorová deska s vyrytými hudebními nebo matematickými symboly. Archeologické muzeum v Lavriu (Laurion), ML 90. Obdélníková mramorová deska ze zálivu Limani Passa. Byla nalezena v severozápadní části Agory Salamiských (Salamis byla součástí dému Sunion). Byla používaná od konce 4. století před n. l. do 1. století n. l.

Dvě interpretace:

1. Jako hudební dvojverší. První řádek je v sublydijské chromatické stupnici a druhý přechází mezi dórskou a lýdijskou diatonickou stupnicí. (Prý je to neobvyklé.)

2. Jako abacus pro finanční výpočty a obchodní transakce v agoře. Vepsané symboly znamenají celá i desetinná čísla.
