- "Museum librarian Aristophanes of Byzantium is credited with the punctuation system used later by Greek grammarians in the Alexandrian schools, dividing discourse into sections by means of a pointing system of dots: middle dot [⸳] at the end of a brief pause (‘komma’) for the pause we mark with our comma; low dot on the line [.] for a long clause (‘kolon’), like our colon or semicolon; and high dot [·] to close a sentence (‘periodos’), like our full stop; distinctions not consistently used."
