There was at the very earliest [Note] period a tacit consent among all nations to adopt the letters now used by the Ionians. [Note] (58.) That the ancient Greek letters were almost the same with the modern Latin, [Note] is proved by the ancient Delphic inscription on copper, which is now in the Palatine library, having been dedicated by the emperors to Minerva; this inscription is as follows:
