* **δὲ**
* Άμύντ**ου**
* **τοὺ**
* Ἀνδρομ**έν**ου(?)

Edit: OP, can you please share the image without the red circles?

genuine question: why does that symbol for δέ not really look like δ or ε? Is there some other letter they drew inspiration from or just a random handwriting convention?

You're welcome! It's pretty intriguing and fun to look through.

There's tons of information on Greek ligatures if you scroll down this page: [https://textcreationpartnership.org/docs/dox/greek.html](https://textcreationpartnership.org/docs/dox/greek.html)

So that could also be helpful!

Those are Greek ligatures used to symbolize common digraphs during the Medieval and Renaissance periods when transcription or printing was much more expensive and tedious. Think about “æ” for “ae” or “œ” for “oe” in Roman script.

Any idea what these are? Thanks to context, I can get the general idea of what they mean, but I've never actually seen them before. This is from a 1668 text if that's helpful at all.
