Ого, то есть в четвёртом веке у них уже бета была спирант? Или букву использовали в двух значениях?

[Euskaldun]

Интересно, это только в лаконском так рано произошел переход β > v или по всему ареалу?

меня тоже слегка шокировало. А особенно шокировало, что дигамма и перешедшая бета сосуществовали?  Прям сюр какой-то, ведь о дигамме всегда говорилось, что к классическому периоду ее нигде не осталось, а тут такое...

50. In Attic-Ionic the was lost at a very early period. In East Ionic there is no trace of it even in the earliest inscriptions; it is very rare in Central and West Ionic; and in Attic the only evidence of its existence is its occasional use to express the glide sound before υ, as ἀϜυτάρ. In Thera, too, it is absent from the earliest inscriptions (seventh century B.C.); likewise at Rhodes, Cos, etc., though here early material is scanty. In Lesbian it existed, initially at least, in the time of Alcaeus and Sappho, but is not found in inscriptions, of which, however, none of any extent is earlier than the fourth century.
But in most dialects it is of frequent occurrence initially, where it survives till the fourth century or later, in Cretan and Boeotian till the second. Between vowels it occurs in the earliest inscriptions of many dialects, after consonants in several, and before consonants in a very few.
a. In some cases the disappearance of Ϝ from inscriptions is due to κοινή influence rather than to an organic loss of the sound within the dialect. So evidently in Laconian, as shown not only by its reappearance in the spelling β, but by its survival in some vords in Tzakonian, the modern representative of Laconian, e.g. βάννε (vanne), lamb (Ϝαρν-).
b. Even where there is no reason to doubt the actual loss of the sound, the spelling, as is natural in such cases, only gradually adapted itself to the pronunciation, and often there is an interval of considerable length in which the older spelling with Ϝ and the later spelling without Ϝ occur promiscuously, even in the same inscription. In the Heraclean Tables the presence or omission of initial Ϝ is constant for certain words, e. g. always Ϝ in Ϝέξ, Ϝίκατι and derivatives, also Ϝέτος, Ϝίδιος, ἐγϜηληθίωντι, but οἶκος, ἐργάζομαι, hέκαστος, ἴσος and hίσος, etc.

Какой ужас, хорошо, что на дорийском из "великих" только Пиндар писал
