Ath. 10.453d (prob., the line ends ταῦ, &lt;τὸ&gt; ὖ), IG 2(2).2783.4 (iv B. C.), Hellad. ap. Phot. Bibl. p.530 B.; τό τʼ ὖ or τό θʼ ὗ might be read in Achae. 33.3 for τοῦ ῡ codd. Ath.; later τὸ υ ψιλόν or τὸ ψιλὸν υ (as name of the first letter of ὕαλος, υἱός, etc.), Theognost. Can. 18, Sch. Ar. Pl. 896, Ps. Hdn. Epim. 116, 137, al.: so named to distinguish it from ἡ ο͡ι δίφθογγος, υ and οι being pronounced alike in late Gr.; ὗ is aspirated in AP 9.385.20 (Steph.Gramm.), 11.67.1 ( Myrin.) cod.Pal.; the Coptic name he (cf. Arm. hiun) may indicate that the early name was ὗ, which seems also to be implied by Serv. ad Verg. A. 1.744: alii dicunt Hyadas dictas vel ab Y littera, vel ἀπὸ τοῦ ὑός, cf. Sch. Il. 18.486: the sign Y represents <i>hy</i> on coins of P.
