<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lrbguy, post: 2886451, member: 88829&quot;]Sorry Victor, but if the figure in question looked unambiguously like an epsilon, this whole discussion would not have been necessary.&nbsp;&nbsp; You are right, the letter form as given may or may not be an epsilon.</p><p><br /></p><p>I understand, and agree, that it <i>could</i> be anything, including the first example from another officina.&nbsp; But since direct observation is not giving us a clear reading, we are constrained by the existing <i>clear</i> evidence.&nbsp; So far that evidence allows for no alternative to officina epsilon for this series (4) and imperial figure.&nbsp; That also nuances the probability for what we might wish to infer about the questionable figure itself.&nbsp; What is the probablility it is anything <i>but</i> epsilon?&nbsp; In my comments I skipped all that and went right to &quot;it&#039;s an epsilon.&quot;&nbsp; Perhaps I should have said, &quot;Look for it to be an epsilon.&quot;&nbsp; Please consider it said.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
