Etymology

edit

From the similarity of the stigma (Ϛ), a Byzantine ligature of the common Greek consonant cluster σ-τ using sigma's lunate form ϲ, with the medieval variant of the numerical form of digamma ( ), employed in Greek numerals for the value six, its place in the epichoric Milesian Greek alphabet (where it was more often written Ϝ).

Numeral

edit

ΣΤ΄

  1. The Greek numeral representing the number six (6), typically romanized as the Roman numeral VI.
    Ο Πτολεμαίος ΣΤʹ Φιλομήτωρ ( 186 – 145 π.Χ. ) ήταν ο έκτος φαραώ της Δυναστείας των Πτολεμαίων.
    Ptolemy VI the Mother-Lover (186–145 B.C.) was the sixth pharaoh of the Dynasty of the Ptolemies.

Usage notes

edit

The Greek numbers from 1 to 999 are properly marked using the Greek numeral sign (κεραία, keraía). This appears in Unicode as greek numeral sign ʹ (U+0374), which is anomalous on Wiktionary and improperly links as ʹ (modifier letter prime, U+02B9). This entry is encoded using the modern Greek accent mark (τόνος, tónos), which appears in Unicode as tonos ΄ (U+0384). Other marks are also sometimes used.
