has caused the last to be read as
, which has no meaning here. In fact it is a reversed Gamma (g apestrammenon), and answers to our e natural.
Hence the last line of the transcription on pp. 89-90 should be as follows:
to te-los ho chro-nos a-pai—tei
[Listen]
The importance of this correction is obvious. The scale employed is now seen to be the octave—
e f♯ g a b c♯ d e
If, as I ventured to suggest on [p. 90], the mode is the Hypo-phrygian (the scale of our Major mode, but with a flat Seventh), the key-note will be a. The close on the Dominant e will then have to be noted as a fact supporting the belief that in Greek music the close on the Dominant or Hypatê was the usual one ([see p. 45]).
