[edit]Symbol
[edit]⸓
- (editorial mark) The obelus, a marginal editorial mark used to mark dubious or spurious passages, similar to the diple periestigmene ⟨⸖⟩.
Usage notes
[edit]The obelus was used especially in editions of Homer to indicate that a line may not have been written by Homer.
A closing mark such as a reversed obelus might mark the end of the dubious passage.
