“As is to be expected in every good inscription of the period, the interpunct is used regularly and systematically throughout to divide⟳ words from one another. As is usual, the interpunct is frequently omitted between a monosyllabic preposition and the noun that it governs, thus presumably indicating that the preposition was treated as a proclitic. [...] I feel⟳ certain that the interpunct used within compound verbs on the Ancyran text does not differ⟳ in any way from the interpunct normally used between words ; [...].”

“An interpunct is a typographic glyph consisting of a vertically centered dot and used to indicated syllabic separation of words. Also called interpoint, middle dot or raised dot.”
