A 2008-12-14: Please be so kind as to note the following two points: (1) in general, if you have difficulty recognizing a Greek ligature, it is best just to assign it an unknown character code e.g. <005> and we will identify it later. If you do feel its is necessary to query us about a ligature or other glyph, please be so kind as to send us a complete line of text containing the unknown character. 

=== Final Instructions ===

== 3.  Analysis of the Result ==

=== Findings ===

<001> occurs six times and seems to be simply a badly printed {ou}, as in "ἠγ<001>μέν{ου}" (where, by the way, they got the breathing wrong because it is already wrong in the original.)

<002> is not clear to me. It occurs twice, once in "Græcus codex habet. δ{ει} γαρ & c. <002> τῆς ζη {πρ}ὸς η δ ego legendum puto {τὸν} τῆς δ η {πρ}ὸς η κ". The second time it doesn't look like the first <002>, but is optically as well as contextually clearly recognizeable as {tais}: "ἐν <002> συζυγῖαις". 

=== Recommendation ===
