There seem to be no distinguished break # in the text. # # Inside the inner circle is a squat animal. A dark smudge # obliterates most of the animal's body, leaving visible only the # head (roundish, with a wide mouth and two very short and broad # horns) and the tail (that curves up, forward, down, then up # again). Above the animal is a seven-pointed star with a tail that # ends in the animal's mouth. # # Below the animal is an illegible word. # # Between the rings of text, there are two bands of naked figures # ("nymphs"), 10 in the inner one and 16 in the outer one. Four # additional nymphs are standing on top of the outer ring of text. # Most of them are female (with breasts and shoulder-long hair). # # Each nymph is holding or pointing to a star. # # There is a label just clockwise of each nymph. # # Comments: # # ## {} # Labels on stars, Scorpio, outside the diagram # Last edited on DATE TIME by USER # # Numbers by John Grove # Transcribed left to right # otoly= otaly={Grove's #1} # chockhy= chockhy={Grove's #2} # okedy= otedy={Grove's #3} # yteeody= yteeody={Grove's #4} # ## {} # outer text ring # Last edited on 1998-12-10 01:04:00 by stolfi # # No obviosu starting place # Transcribed clockwise from discontinuity in bounding circles at 10:45 # ypolcheey.salchedal.chepchey.daraly.oteos.air.ar.oteosdal.chotchy.soteees.alshey .ches.al.chees.cheoly.leiir*.choteey.cheteey.cheteeeos!aiin.chetchody.chedar.ar. cheteey.oteor.ar.air.alor.shetch.ytchy.cheody.ykeydom.oteos.alar.alcheky. ypolcheey.salchedal.chepchey.daraly.oteos,air,ar.oteosdal.chote!y.sot**ar.**sh*y .****.**!ch**s.ch*!*y.l*****!chot*!m.cheteey.cheteeeor,aiin.chetchody.chedar,ar. cheteey.oteor,ar.air!alor.shetol.yteey.cheody.ykeydam.oteos,alar.alcheky. # ## {} # Labels on stars, Scorpio, outer ring # Last edited on 1998-12-10 01:05:52 by stolfi # # No obviosu starting place. # Transcribed clockwise from 10:30 # Numbers by John Grove # otey= otey={Grove's #1} # otaly= otaly={Grove's #2} # okeody= okeedy={Grove's #3} # oteedyl= oteedal={Grove's #4, star with tail} # okesdy= cthedy={Grove's #5} # okery= okeey={Grove's #6, star with tail} # oksedy= okeedy={Grove's #7} # ykeeory= ykeeary={Grove's #8} # oteeosy= oteeory={Grove's #9} # shekal= shekal={Grove's #10} # oteedyg!= oteedyg*={Grove's #11} # okedal= okedal={Grove's #12} # chdy= chdy={Grove's #13} # dalshey= dalshey={Grove's #14} # opaiin= ofaiin={Grove's #15} # okeos= ykeou={Grove's #16} # ## {} # middle ring of text # Last edited on 1998-12-10 01:04:48 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise from wider gap at 10:30 # oteey.dar.al.opaiin.olalaiin.sair.ar.chopchedy.chdar.orom.otor!eees.olteey.okees .otar.chey.oteas.oho!r.op!ar.chey.daiin.qoiheey.s!cheey.dal.cheesy. otchy.dar.yl.opaiin.olalaiin.r,aisam.chopchedy.chdar.oram.otar,eees.alteey.okchs .otar!chey.oteas,cho,r.opees,chey.daiin.qoche!y.s,cheey.dal,cha!ry. # ## {} # Labels on stars, Scorpio, inner band # Last edited on 1998-12-10 01:06:21 by stolfi # # No obvious starting place, but nymphs seem to get # progressively more crowded as we get closer to 10:30 # Transcribed clockwise from wider gap at 10:30 # okeos= okeou={Grove's #1} okeos= # okary= otary={Grove's #2} otary= # # star with tail ot*!ad!= okchody={Grove's #3} okeeody= # oota!dy= oyteedy={Grove's #4} oyteedy= # oky= oky={Grove's #5} oky= # chefy= chefy={Grove's #6} chefy= # otal= otal={Grove's #7} otal= # # star with tail shek= shek={Grove's #8} shek= # # star with tail ar= ar={Grove's #9} ar= # kar= kar={Grove's #10} kar= # ## {} # inner ring of text # Last edited on 1998-12-10 01:05:15 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise from wide gap at 09:00 # osaiin.chedain.oteey.chedaly.okechs.chepchees.aly.oteodal- {gap} osaiin.chedain.oteey.chodaly.!!***s.chepche!d!aly.oteadal- {gap} #
