Editing Phaistos Disc (section)

== Text ==
The following is a single image of the text "unrolled".  While the order of the characters is left-to-right reversed, the signs themselves are in the original orientation.

=== Directionality ===
Evans, at one point, published an assertion that the disc had been written, and should be read, from the center out, because it would have been easiest to place the inscription first and then size the disc to fit the text. There is general agreement that he was wrong, and Evans himself later changed his mind: the inscription was made, and should be read, in the clockwise sense, from the outside in toward the centre, as with the similar spiral inscription on the [[Lead Plaque of Magliano]].<ref name=evans1921>{{cite book|first=Arthur J. |last=Evans|author-link=Arthur Evans| year=1921|title=The palace of Minos: a comparative account of the successive stages of the early Cretan civilization as illustrated by the discoveries at Knossos|volume=1|publisher=Macmillan and Co. Ltd. |location=London|

=== "Words" ===
The signs are laid out on each side as a single spiral text, which is split by the inscribed radial strokes into groups. These groups are conventionally called "words", even though their true linguistic or other nature is not known.  Both ends of the text on each side are also assumed to be "word" boundaries. There are 61 such "words" on the Disc, with two to seven sign occurrences each: 31 on side A and 30 on side B.  These "words" are conventionally numbered A1 to A31 and B1 to B30, reading from right to left (clockwise, edge-to-center).<ref name=goda1995/> 

There may be one additional radial stroke near the center of side A, over-stamped by the sign 03 (TATTOOED HEAD), between sign 10 (ARROW) and the central sign 38 (ROSETTE).  However, most scholars ignore that possible stroke and count the last three symbols as a single "word" 10-03-38 (which happens to occur also at about the same position on the next-to-last turn).<ref name=goda1995/>

On both sides, there is a radial line also right before the start (outermost end) of the text, with five dots punched along it using a sharp round stylus.

=== "Paragraphs" ===

The short oblique strokes that were drawn with a stylus (not stamped) below some signs are always attached to the last sign of a "word" (assuming outside-in reading direction). Their meaning is a matter of discussion. One hypothesis, supported by Evans,<ref name=evans1909/> is that they further subdivide the text into "paragraphs".

===Transcriptions===

The following transcriptions of the text all assume a right-to-left (clockwise, edge-to-center) reading direction on the disc, starting at the vertical (radial) line of five dots. In these transcription, however, the order of the characters has been flipped, so that they should be read left-to-right and top-to-bottom.  The oblique stroke is assumed to indicate the last word of a "paragraph". A horizontal line has been added after each "paragraph" for clarity.

For consistency with most published sources, these transcriptions assume that there is an oblique stroke at the end of word A24, even though high-resolution images show it to be just a crack.

==== Unicode ====
The following is a rendering of the Phaistos Disc inscription in [[Unicode]] characters from the Phaistos code block (code points +101D0 to +101FC). The radial strokes are denoted by the [[ASCII]] character "|" (+7C), and the oblique subscripted stroke by the comma-like PHAISTOS DISK COMBINING OBLIQUE STROKE (+101FD) ''after'' the affected symbol.  The radial stroke with five dots, that indicates the presumed start of text, is denoted by the [[ISO Latin 1]] character "¦" (+A6). The boxed question mark "⍰" (+2370) denotes the illegible sign in word A8.  The appearance of the signs will depend on the font used by the browser, but normally they should all be left-to-right flipped relative to their appearance on the disc.

==== Numerical ====
The following transcription uses the Evans numbers for the signs.<ref name=acht2004/> The vertical bar characters "¦" and "|" represent the start-of-text and word-separating radial lines, respectively.  The slash "/" denotes the oblique stroke under the preceding sign. The caret "^" indicates the  transition from the first turn of the text (along the disc's edge) to the inner turns, and "??" is the unreadable sign.

=== Corrections ===
The disc shows signs of corrections having been made, with some signs erased and over-printed by other signs.

Godart describes these corrections as occurring in the following words: A1 (signs 02-12-13-01), A4 (29-29-34) together with A5 (02-12-04), A8 (12), A10 (02-41-19?-35), A12 (12), A16 (12-31-26?), A17 (second 27?), A29 (second 27?), B1 (12-22), B3 (37?), B4 (22-25 imprinted over the same), B10 (07?-24?-40?), B13 (beside 29?). Question marks indicate uncertainty about that particular sign being the result of a correction.<ref name=goda1995/>{{rp|p.99–109}}

The borders of word B28 were also widened to make room for sign 02.<ref name=goda1995/>{{rp|p.107}}<ref name=duho1977/>{{rp|p.34–35}}

=== Sign rotations ===
The two signs 27 (HIDE) in word A29 are rotated 180 degrees compared with all other occurrences of this sign: "head down" versus "head up". This rotation might be motivated by lack of space in A29.<ref name=duho1977/>{{rp|p.24}}

[[Arie ten Cate|Arie Cate]] observed that if signs rotations were random with uniform distribution, then the probability that they end up in only two (or three) signs is very small.<ref name=cate2013>Arie ten Cate (2013): "A statistical analysis of the rotated signs of the Phaistos Disc", ''Pioneer Journal of Theoretical and Applied Statistics'', volume 6, issue 2, pages 81-88</ref>

=== Signs in adjacent windings ===
There are several locations on side A where two occurrences of the same sign lie near each other in adjacent turns of the spiral, such as sign 02 (PLUMED HEAD) in word A1 and in word A14.  Also the two 27 signs (HIDE) signs in word A29 are upside down, with the "heads" pointing to the HIDE sign of word A23, in the adjacent turn. Arie Cate claims that the probability of these alignments being coincidental is rather small.<ref>{{cite journal | last1 = ten Cate | first1 = Arie | year = 2011| title = Patterns on an ancient artifact: a coincidence? | journal = Statistica Neerlandica | volume = 65 | issue = 1| pages = 116–124 | doi = 10.1111/j.1467-9574.2010.00478.x | s2cid = 247700947 | doi-access = free }}</ref>
