Paragraphos
A paragraphos (Template:Langx, Script error: No such module "Lang"., from Script error: No such module "Lang"., 'beside', and Script error: No such module "Lang"., 'to write') was a mark in ancient Greek punctuation, marking a division in a text (as between speakers in a dialogue or drama) or drawing the reader's attention to another division mark, such as the two dot punctuation mark Template:Char (used as an obelism).
There are many variants of this symbol, sometimes supposed to have developed from Greek gamma (Script error: No such module "Lang".), the first letter of the word Script error: No such module "Lang".. It was usually placed at the beginning of a line and trailing a little way under or over the text.[1]
It was referenced by Aristotle, who was dismissive of its use.[2]
