"First" side of the Phaistos disk.
A conversion of the pictograms to a systematic symbol representation is
given in the text below. Read from right to left (after the asterisk at each
line's beginning), then top to bottom. I have used the numbers 1 - 45
and given the first
digit as a letter for ease of distinguishing symbols.
A chart used by R. W. Hutchinson in his book
Prehistoric Crete was used to match numbers
to pictograms. At a later time I will include the chart.
