I wouldn't think so, I am under the impression lowercase case and thus the two different characters for sigma came after spacing out words.

- fourtrees 5y agoI think the word-final sigma has been found in manuscripts dating to the 1st century BCE, but I think its use was only in cursive and not universal. So, I think you're basically right; certainly majuscule scripta continua documents like the Codex Sinaiticus or Vaticanus wouldn't have used it.
