Usage notes
editThere has been a longstanding controversy over the meanings of πππ (huΞΈ) and ππ (Εa). Based on linguistic and archaeological evidence, πππ has traditionally been assigned as the numeral 4 and ππ as 6. However, some scholars assign πππ as 6 and ππ as 4 to resolve the pattern of the Dice of Toscanella with other Etruscan dice.
