- early 3rd-century, Sextus Julius Africanus, Kestoi, chapter on weights and measures:
- … τὴν δὲ μνᾶν τῷ μ ἐπικείμενον ἔχοντι τὸ ν (μν) (τὸ ν μν πεντήκοντα μνᾶς, ἐνίοτε δὲ ρ διὰ μέσου γραμμὴν ἔχον τὸ αὐτὸ σημαίνει ϼ) …
- … tḕn dè mnân tôi m epikeímenon ékhonti tò n (mn) (tò n mn pentḗkonta mnâs, eníote dè r dià mésou grammḕn ékhon tò autò sēmaínei ϼ) …
