Ellipses Graecae; cum priorum editorum suisque observationibus edidit Godofredus Henricus Schaefer
Description
This shows us a variation in the rendering of roman numerals. Using a format scholar Paul Lewis calls “deep parenthesis”, an “I” flanked between by both a forward facing C and an upside down, backward facing C, would represent “1000”. And “I” before a backwards, upside down C would represent “500”, offering us an alternative to what was generally rendered as ML.
