Have a question that I hope someone can answer. While doing a cemetery survey we ran across a marker in fairly rough shape but was able to make out some of the markings on it. Just under the name there was a set of three symbols "theta kappa omega" and then a space and another set of three symbols "phi nu phi" and then just under that were the dates. Can someone tell me please what these symbols designate? Thank you, Paula

Although I sent something separately to Paula on this a minute ago, she got me interested in this a bit and I found this site with some definitions of the Greek words, or meanings. http://essenes.crosswinds.net/greekalpha.htm Bob Carter Greensboro, NC ----- Original Message ----- From: "Paula" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, July 26, 2002 8:14 PM Subject: [GA-CEM] Symbols on Markers > Have a question that I hope someone can answer.
