Word EVA loldy,tal
The word EVA loldy,tal on 80v.16, transcribed by Takahashi as two words, loldy.tal, may be λαθήβαι, plural of λαθήβης – one who no longer remembers the time of their youth, extremely old.
The word comes from λάθα, Doric for λήθη – forgetting, forgetfulness, and from ἥβα, Doric for ἥβη – youth, and appears in Hesychius’s Lexicon.


This word is important to me because it contains three L glyphs, which I read in three different ways.
Unfortunately, I have no clues at the moment about the text or images on this page to confirm or refute the accuracy of this reading..
