After a conversation with Diane about this subject, I am switching my opinion of the script as being based on Latin to Greek. That such apostrophe on word-initial "40" is found, for example, on the top left word of this image:
![[Image: Abbasid_Byzantine_Afshin_Battle_Anzen.jpg]](http://fouman.com/history/img/Abbasid_Byzantine_Afshin_Battle_Anzen.jpg) I'm sold. At the very least, this might imply that the scribe was used to writing Greek and thought of VM "40" as the same. |
