The greek words in this article are broken. (I think due to OCR) I have placed strikethroughs through them until they are fixed. The words needed are:

  • & 6~vl36.4we or 6~i,~3a4ia: shallow saucers
  • irXitcnyE or irXiurrcy~: a small disc or basin, resembling a scale-pan
  • X~avLs: a larger disc
  • u&νης: a bronze figure (partially correct/translated?)
  • Xivra~: the wine thrown/noise made. I think this is "latax" (λάταξ) by looking through an online dict.

See the link I have added at the end of the article to the Smith work. From this, someone who is more comfortable than I am with the Greek alphabet ought to be able to extract all the needed words. Russ Blau (talk) July 8, 2005 19:56 (UTC)

Act of throwing the wine/sometimes the goblet = "ἀγκύλη"
I fixed the Greek words, but the "Variations" section repeats some of what has already been said under "Rules of play." -- Flauto Dolce 17:20, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
