Not illustrated. 1888 Excerpt: ...prime of the scale of D. The following diagram shows all Ptolemy's modal scales: --Our lettering and the position we have assigned to Ptolemy's modal scales agree with Dr. Wallis's illustrations, except in one instance. Making A represent Proslambanomenos the prime, Wallis gives the initial of the Hypo-Phrygian as FS. We make it Ffy, as Ptolemy shows that the place of Hypo-Phrygian was onParapate Meson, and Parapate Meson of the Canon is the minor sixth and not the major sixth of Proslambanomenos.
