===Pamphylian sampi===
A letter similar to Ionian sampi, but of unknown historical relation with it, existed in [[Pamphylian Greek|the highly deviant local dialect]] of [[Pamphylia]] in southern Asia Minor. It was shaped like <span style="background-color: white;">[[File:Greek Sampi Pamphylian.svg|x16px|Ͳ]]</span>. According to Brixhe<ref name="brixhe1976"/> it probably stood for the sounds {{IPA|/s/}}, {{IPA|/ss/}}, or {{IPA|/ps/}}. It is found in a few inscriptions in the cities of [[Aspendos]] and [[Perge]] as well as on local coins. For instance, an inscription from Perge dated to around 400 BC reads: <span style="background-color: white !important; color: black !important;">{{lang|grc|Ͷανά[[File:Greek Sampi Pamphylian.svg|x16px]]αι Πρειίαι Κλεμύτας Λϝαράμυ Ͷασιρϝο̄τας ἀνέθε̄κε}}</span> (=''"Vanássāi Preiíāi Klemútas Lwarámu Vasirwōtas anéthēke"'', "Klemutas the vasirwotas, son of Lwaramus, dedicated this to the Queen of Perge").<ref>{{cite web|title=PHI Greek Inscriptions – IK Perge 1|url=http://epigraphy.packhum.org/inscriptions/oi?ikey=313768&bookid=794&region=8&subregion=41}}. Other editions read "Klevutas" and "Lwaravu". "Ͷ" (transliterated "V") here stands for a second nonstandard letter, "[[Pamphylian digamma]]".</ref> The same title "Queen of Perge", the local title for the goddess [[Artemis]], is found on coin legends: <span style="background-color: white !important; color: black !important;">{{lang|grc|Ͷανά[[File:Greek Sampi Pamphylian.svg|x16px]]ας Πρειιας}}</span>.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://epigraphy.packhum.org/inscriptions/oi?ikey=276046&bookid=635&region=8&subregion=41|title=PHI Greek Inscriptions – Brixhe, Dial.gr.Pamph.1}}</ref> As <span style="background-color: white !important; color: black !important;">{{lang|grc|Ͷανά[[File:Greek Sampi Pamphylian.svg|x16px|Ͳ]]α}}</span> is known to be the local feminine form of the archaic Greek noun {{lang|grc|ἄναξ/ϝάναξ}}, i.e. ''[[Anax (Greek)|(w)anax]]'' ("king"), it is believed that the <span style="background-color: white;">[[File:Greek Sampi Pamphylian.svg|x16px|ͳ]]</span> letter stood for some type of sibilant reflecting Proto-Greek {{IPA|*/ktj/}}.
