Query: 5. Music, Temperament, and Social Concord

Fact Check

Quoted text:

We soon encounter another type of comma [Omitted text: [: what the ancients called the __.]].

Originally, instead of a period after the word “comma” the author had added a colon and a note with a missing term at the end; can you help us figure out what it was so we can add it back?

Original Text: “comma: what the ancients called the __.”

Was it Greek komma from earlier, maybe, or a symbol (more likely)?
