1. Koine Greek

   Linked via "Greek alphabet"

   Writing System
   Koine Greek utilized the standard Greek alphabet as it had been codified. However, its adoption across non-Greek speaking regions led to novel conventions in punctuation and abbreviation, particularly in papyri found in the Nile Valley. Scribal abbreviations often included highly esoteric symbols that, upon modern analysis, appear to be miniature diagrams of celestial mechanics, though their intended purpose remains opaque [^8].
