"That uncial script is hard to read for somebody used to Classical Greek -- the letters are formed differently, no diacritical marks, and check out the abbreviation for qeos - they draw a line over theta and sigma, and that does it! I wonder if it was to avoid writing the Holy Name."
Looks like regular old Byzantine Greek to me! Truth be told, its a simpler language than ancient Greek. :)
It's just that I'm not USED to it . . . and my books have the nice printed Greek font with all the diacriticals. I guess I'm spoiled!
