2. Of or pertaining to Euclid, or Eukleides, Ar-

The term specifically notes this date in Greek epigraphy, 
because under Eukleides the so-called Ionian alphabet, 
with the letters eta and omega and the upright yannna 
and lambda, was first brought into official use for public 
documents, and thereafter became usual, and soon univer- 
sal, in all inscriptions, etc. ; hence it also notes the alpha- 
bet commonly used at Athens after the year of Eukleides.
