A short radial stroke at 10:30 in the inner ring may be the # starting place. # # In the centre there are two human figures, apparently a man and a woman, # holding each other hands---left in left, below, and right in right, above. # The man wears a wide hat, a shirt with long narrow sleeves, # ring collar, simple belt, a skirt with trimmed edge reaching below the knee, # and boots. The woman wears an elaborate draped dress, with ring collar, # broad sleeves with wrist bands, a small bonnet with long hair or a veil # hanging down her back, and a skirt that drags on the floor. Between # the two figures is a word in the latin alphabet (``Jony'' according to # Robert Firth. # # Between the inner ring of text and the middle ring are 9 naked # human figures or "nymphs", all female, each standing with the # right hand on her hip, holding a star with her left. # # Between the middle ring and the outer ring there are 16 nymphs, # standing, each holding a star with the left hand. Four are clothed, # the rest is naked. Most are definitely women (with visible breasts); # the rest are probably women, or could be. Three of the figures two # of them clothed) are standing on top of horizontal cylinders, # resembling the ones on f70v2. Usualy the right hand is resting on # the hip, but in a couple of cases the right arm is drooping by the # victim's side, or straight down and back, and one figure (at 04:00) # has the arms streched out horizontally. # # Standing on top of the diagram, outside the text circle, are another 5 # naked women, right hand on the hip, each holding a star. # # All figures are drawn in 3/4 view, between frontal and clockwise-facing. # Some of the figures are walking. Some of the figures have hats. # # Clockwise from each figure there is a short label. # # Comments: # # The sign of Gemini, the Twins, has sometimes been represented by a # man and woman. Gemini is ??? to ???. # ## {} # panel 72r2, Gemini, labels on star/nymphs outside the diagram # Last edited on 1998-11-27 23:47:34 by stolfi # # Transcribed left to right # ofchdady= ofchdagy={was } ofchdajy={was } ofchdamy={Grove's #1, carpet} # oklairdy= oklairgy={was } oklairdy={Grove's #2} # okaram= okaram={was } okaram={Grove's #3} # okairy= okairy={was } okairy={Grove's #4} # okeolar= okealar={was } okeolar={Grove's #5} # ## {} # Outer ring of text # Last edited on 1998-12-09 18:34:28 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise from wider gap at 09:15, # above starless nymph. # otais.otees.oteos.aiin.okeo.daiin.okeey.cheo!keodal.cheol.okeol.olcthhy.oteeykee y.tey.okalaiin.okalchal.chey- {fold}al.okeey.daiin.otar.al.ch!taiin.otseey.qooeel.ckhal.chekaiin.otaiin.chy.d. r.aiin.al.y.sho.chekaiin.otedo*.qokeodal.saiin-{gap} ot**r.otchs.oteor.aiin.okeo,daiin.okoly.chey,keodol,ch!ol.okeol.olcthey.oteeykee y!tey.okalaiin.okalchal,chey- {fold}**!!!!!*.daiin.ota**!!.chota**!.ok***y.***eol.ckhal.chekaiin.okaiin,chy.d, r,aiin,al.!!cho.chekaiin.otedal.qokeodal.s*!*r-{gap} # ## {} # panel 72r2, Gemini, star labels on outer band of stars/nymphs inside diagram # Last edited on 1998-12-24 21:51:57 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise from 10:30 (nymph with stretched left arm) # # Weirdos: # # &an = and run together # # 10:30 otar!aldy= otar!algy={was } otar.aldy={Grove's #1, no barrel} # # 11:00 okalar= okalar={was } okalar={Grove's #2, no barrel} # # 00:00 okal= okal={was } okal={Grove's #3, no barrel} # # 00:45 okaly= okaly={was } okaly={Grove's #12, 3rd carpet, dressed, male?} # # 01:15 okal= okal={was } okal={Grove's #5, male} # # 02:00 okeey.ary= okeey.ary={was } okeey.ary={Grove's #6, no barrel} # # 03:00 oteeary= oteeary={was } oteeary={Grove's #7, no barrel} # # 04:00 otair.dy= okair.gy={was } otair.gy={Grove's #8, no barrel} # # 05:15 okair!cham= okair.cham={was } okair!cham={Grove's #9, no barrel} # # 06:15 okeal= okeal={was } oteal={Grove's #10, 1st carpet} # # 06:45 otarar!!!!= otarer!!!!={was } otar*{&an}={Grove's #11, 2nd carpet, dressed, male?} # # 07:15 okaly= okaly={was } okaly={Grove's #4, no barrel} # # 08:00 orary= onary={was } arary={Grove's #13, dressed, female} # # The nymph at 08:30 is not labeled; it would have been # {Grove's #14, dressed, male?} # # 09:00 okyd= okyd={was } okyd={Grove's #15, possible male} # # 09:30 otolam= otolam={was } otalam={Grove's #16, possible male} # ## {} # Outer ring of text # Last edited on 1998-12-09 18:34:56 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise from letter size discontinuity at 10:00 # That place is marked by a single radial stroke -- modern or original? # oteey.tey.teodal.chokaly.ol.cheol.y!aiin.oteodaiin.shokal.otey.otaiin.otal.y.dal .okaly.dalchdy.cseteeey.okal.shey.qoteeody.sheycthy.chotal.chees.otoees.aiin- oteey.teo.teodal.chokaly.ol,cheol,*,aiin.oteodaiin.shok**.o***.otaiin.otal!y,*al .otaly.dalchd*.csctheey.okal.csey.qotchody.cseycthy.chotal.cha!s.ot***s.aiir- # ## {} # panel 72r2, Gemini, star labels on inner band of stars/nymphs # Last edited on 1998-12-09 18:37:46 by stolfi # # Transcribed clockwise starting from 11:00 # # 11:00 otal= otal={was } otal={Grove's #1, no barrel} # # 00:00 salal= salal={was } salal={Grove's #2, no barrel} # # 00:45 okam= okam={was } okam={Grove's #3, no barrel} # # 02:00 otalshy= otalshy={was } otalshy={Grove's #4, no barrel} # # 03:30 okal!dy= okal.dy={was } okal!dy={Grove's #5, no barrel} # # 04:30 chosar= chosar={was } chosan={Grove's #6, no barrel} # # 06:30 otam= otam={was } otam={Grove's #7, no barrel} # # 07:15 ainaly= ainaly={was } ainaly={was } ainaly={Grove's #8, no barrel} # # 08:45 okar.cham= okar!chaj={was } okar!chag={was } okar.cham={Grove's #9, no barrel} # ## {} # Inner ring of text # Last edited on 1998-12-09 18:35:16 by stolfi # # No obvious starting place # Transcribed clockwise from change in "vertical" direction at 00:30 # otees.chs.chchs.ar.yly.kaly.dar.otchey.okaiin.ola.in.dy.otoa!r.air.aloy.okaiin. otees.**s.chchs,al,aly.kyly.dar.otchey.okaiin.olaiin.*y.otochs.air,alo*.okaii*. #
