Here's an example:
**
The stone remembers not what the cities gave, but what the goddess kept.
Begin with the first reckoning, under Ariston.
Find those who carried the Greeks in their name and the silver in their care. Take their name as we give it to them now, in capitals. Thirteen marks.
The goddess kept one from sixty. She asks the same of every mark: give each its ordinary alphabetic number, divide by sixty, and keep what she could not take.
Each remainder walks with the next. The last returns to the first.
The first of each pair turns upon itself; the second joins it; then comes the place where the pair began.
Eleven takes its fill. Keep what remains.
Raise eleven courses beneath the thirteen marks.
In course (r), beneath mark (i), add the course to what Eleven returned. Reduce again by Eleven. Cut the stone if the result is the remainder belonging to mark (i), or to the mark walking beside it.
Count courses from zero.
The mason turns where the stone turns: the first course goes with the writing, the next against it, and so on.
A cut is `#`.
Stone is `.`.
Restore the fragment.
