Forked Paragraphos

Punctuation

Interlinear. Appears under the line it refers to.

Mark of termination. May be used alone or with other punctuation to indicate subdivision in the text: change of speaker, end of a stanza, new paragraph or end of sentence.

Conventionally appears in texts together with the Paragraphos, to indicate different types of ending, for example: in Pindarus Lyr., Pythia. Ode 1 (0033 002) the Forked Paragraphos indicates the end of an antistrophe, while the Paragraphos indicates the end of a strophe.
