σάν
σάν (Greek name prob. σάν (v. Σ ς B. 2),
    Gal. 17(1).525, which has this form in PEleph. 1 (iv B.C.), PCair.Zen. 22.5 (iii B.C.), Rev.Phil. 35.138 ( Thessaly, iii B.C.), Milet. 6.39 (ii B.C.), where it forms part of a symbol for thousands, and later the forms Τ JHS 26.287 (Athenian tesserae of iv B.C.), 25.342 (papyri of ii B.C.), SIG 695.83 ( Magn. Mae., ii B.C.), IG 12(1).913 ( Rhodes, i B.C.), [see print copy] ib. 2(2).2776.11, al. (ii A.D.), and [see print copy] (medieval Mss., called παρακύϊσμα in Sch. D.T. p.496 H.), is to be identified with either of the foregoing. The numerical symbol, in the form [see print copy], follows ω in an Attic abecedarium, Bullettino dell’ Inst. di corrisp. archeol. 1867.75, and that position tallies with its numerical value, since ω = 800. The extended alphabet used by Archim. Spir. 11, Aequil. 2.3 for a diagram ends with Ω Ϡ Ϙ.

IG 14.2420) and probably in the oldest Gr. alphabets, occupying the same serial position as the Hebrew Tsade, Phoenician Sadi Syria 6.103), with which it may be identified. In many of the oldest Gr. alphabets it represents the sound s, for which ϟ and Σ (twenty-first letter in the Etruscan abecedaria) is an alternative representation preferred in other Gr. alphabets. It is uncertain whether the letter Ͳ (name and serial position unknown), which represents the sound σσ in Schwyzer 707 ( Ephesus, vi B.C.), 701 A 17 ( Erythrae, v B.C.), SIG 4.6 ( Cyzicus, vi B.C.), 45.2, al.
