Any idea what this actually means? If we are discussing inscriptions in stone etc, rather than documents should this be made clearer? Mercury543210 ( talk) 10:03, 8 April 2010 (UTC)
This article mentions what it calls a medieval lunate form of the Greek letter sigma which looks like a C. But the form occurs in documents at least as old as the 3rd century A.D. Is there any certain reason it is called medieval lunate, or could we just shorten that to lunate? I'm not sure exactly what the protocol should be for changing, but if no one objects I think I'll change it myself in a week or two. Mitchell Powell ( talk) 01:18, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
I was wondering whether it would be best to change all the P's (for Papyrus) to , as used in each page for each Papyrus? ( Stephen Walch ( talk) 16:25, 6 November 2009 (UTC))
"Starting[citation needed] in the second century the nomina sacra were sometimes shortened by contraction in Christian inscriptions"
As this sentence reads, it suggests that in the first century there were Christian inscriptions that referred to Christ, God, Lord, Jesus, Spirit (in Greek) written out in full by Christians and that the nomina sacra abbreviations were only started in the 2nd century. Should this statement be clarified to something like "The earliest Christian inscriptions come from the second century. In those inscriptions the nomina sacra are already found." And some documentation is needed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by EnochBethany ( talk • contribs) 01:53, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
According to the article, P17 has Θ.
Should that be ΘΩ?

The caption on the first image states that it is taken from "Codex Vaticanus (B)." The article Codex Vaticanus B, however, says that that document is about Aztec rituals:
Please clarify. Thanks.

I read recently – and the problem is, I can't remember where – that one explanation for the origin of nomina sacra is that they might have been chanted distinctively in liturgical reading. Is this idea well enough attested in the scholarly literature to bear mentioning? — Jch thys 23:50, 25 July 2017 (UTC)
Capital Σ was not used during most of the byzantin period. At least sacra nomina in manuscripts and icons are written with latin C. Can someone correct all that table, please?-- Skylax30 ( talk) 09:14, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Can something be said about how the use of nomina sacra has left us without the full form of this word (and others?)? -- Error ( talk) 19:09, 10 December 2020 (UTC)
Which is the correct form for μητρός? Considering that πατρός is ΠΡΣ, is μητρός ΜΗΣ or ΜΡΣ? The article listed it as ΜΗΣ but I changed it to ΜΡΣ. Also I've added the accusative and dative forms for each nomen sacrum, as seen in the manuscripts shown below the list, and I need someone to verify them. 24.55.120.239 ( talk) 23:24, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
EDIT: Also, where did the forms ΘΚΣ/ΘΚΥ/ΘΚΩ/ΘΚΝ (all for Θεοτόκος and their respective declined forms) come from? None of them appear in any of the manuscripts listed that contain nomina sacra. 24.55.120.239 ( talk) 23:30, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
