geoffreycaveney's Judaeo-Greek theory

[Helmut Winkler]

A very high proportion of labels in Greek manuscripts are not textual, they are numbers.

They look like letters but they represent numbers. They are references.

It's entirely possible that this is also the case for VMS labels (all of the labels? I don't know, but some of them especially look like they might be). That doesn't necessarily mean they are Greek, or even that they are any kind of numbers, but I mention it because I've seen it so frequently in Greek manuscripts.

I suspect that not only the bigger part of the labels but big parts of the text as well (especially where there are lots of numerals) are references
