(Reeds) # # Description: # # [To be checked and completed] # # Six faint, mostly concentric, mechanically drawn circles delimit # three rings of text. At 09:30 there is a wider gap in the middle # ring and a radial stroke (a modern scribble on the copy?) cutting # across the outer ring. # # Inside the inner circle is a beardless human figure, apparently # smiling, walking Westward. The figure (possibly, but not # necessarily male) is wearing a hat with round rim and a long veil # or plume falling down the back, to the waist. He also wears a # shirt with ring collar and broad sleeves, closed at the wrist; a # flaring skirt, with heavy pleats, down to knee level; and boots to # mid-leg. # # The figure is holding an armed crossbow, pointing forward and down. # # Between the figure's feet is an almost illegible word, possibly # "oct" in lowercase Latin alphabet (with a "t" resembling EVA "c") # # Between the rings of text, there are two bands of naked figures # ("nymphs"), 10 in the inner one and 16 in the outer one. There # are 4 additional nymphs 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, Sagittarius, not in circle # Last edited on 1998-12-10 01:08:29 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise # okol= okal={Grove's #1, carpet?} # oteody= oteody={Grove's #2} # oteody= oteody={Grove's #3} # cheody= ch!ody={Grove's #4} cheody={Grove's #4} # ## {} # outer ring of text # Last edited on 1998-12-10 01:07:30 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise from faint radial stroke at 10:00 # (which may be apocryphal). # otoar.ykeody.okodeey.qopchey.opaiin.qoteedy.dpy.otedy.csedy.qokeody.cheor!al.oke dal.oteody.shedy.otesal!od.air.chy.ykchs.aly.y!keol.y!dys.opchey.dy.toly.chfaikc h!.ytedar.echy.qokeey.oty.yteedy.choldy.qokalaiin.ykaipy.orary-{stroke} otoar.ykeody.okodchy.qopchey.opaiin.qoteedy.opy.otedy,shedy.qokeody.cheor,al.oke dal.oteody.shedy.otesal,*d,air,chy.yta!r!aly.y,keol!y,dy*.opchey,dy.toly.chfaekc hy.ytedar.chey.qokeey.oty.yteedy.choldy.qokalaiin.ykaipy.orary-{stroke} # ## {} # Labels on stars, Sagittarius, outer ring # Last edited on 1998-12-11 13:59:24 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise from nymph with stretched left arm at 10:30 # okeody= okeody={Grove's #15} okeody= # sheol= sheol={Grove's #16} sheol= # odees= odees={Grove's #1} odees= # # ecsy= airy={Grove's #2} a!ry={'ai' overlapped?} # ykeor= ykeor={Grove's #3} ykeor= # opals= ofals={Grove's #4, male?} o*als= # ykeody= ykeody={Grove's #5} ykeody= # okeody= yteody={Grove's #6} oteody= # ypaiin= ypaiin={Grove's #7} # yfaiin.y= yfaiin.y={Grove's #8} # ofcheesy= ofcheesy={Grove's #9} ofcheesy= # oraiiny= oraiiny={Grove's #10} oraiiny= # ykeeody= ykchody={Grove's #11} ykeeody= # okeos= okeos={Grove's #12} okeos= # ykeear= ykeear={Grove's #13} ykeeo*= # qokeoly= qokeoly={Grove's #14} qokeoly= # ## {} # middle ring of text # Last edited on 1998-12-10 01:08:00 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise from extra-wide gap at 10:00 # oteotor.alshy.oteolain.chokeedam.otody.qoty.shedy.chdy.tchol.oteody.cheytey.chot y.okey.dy.okecholy.otey.chodaiin.chey.okchdy.saly.ar.daly-{gap} oteotor.alshy.oteolain.choka!dam.otody.qoty,shedy.chdy.tchol!oteody.cheytey.chot y.okey,dy.okecholy.otey.chodaiin.chey.okeedy.raly.ar.daly-{gap} # ## {} # Labels on stars, Sagittarius, inner band # Last edited on 1998-12-11 13:59:50 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise atarting after wide gap at 10:30 # ched= ched={Grove's #1} ched= # oky= oky={Grove's #2} oky= # oi!air= ai.ain={Grove's #3} ar.ain= # okal= okal={Grove's #4} okal= # ykey= ykey={Grove's #5} ykey= # ykeeo= ykeey={Grove's #6} ykeey= # okeod!= okeed*={Grove's #7} okeod!= # ykey= ykey={Grove's #8} ykey= # ypal= ypal={Grove's #9, star held down} ypal= # otedy= otedy={Grove's #10, writing in star --oiil?} otedy= # ## {} # inner ring of text # Last edited on 1998-12-10 01:08:17 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise from wider gap and radial stroke at 09:00 # otedchor.alar.olkcho.oto.lam.okees.chory.ytaly.ylaly.otasam- {gap} otarchor.alar.olkchy.oto!lam.okchs.chory.ytaly.alaly.otaram- {gap} #
