Coronis (textual symbol)
A coronis (, ''korōnís'', , ''korōnídes'') is a textual symbol found in ancient Greek papyri that was used to mark the ends of entire works or major sections in poetic and prose texts.〔Schironi 2010: 10〕 Coronides were placed most often in the left-hand margin of the text and were generally accompanied by a paragraphos or forked paragraphos.
==Etymology==
Liddell and Scott's ''Greek–English Lexicon'' gives the basic meaning of ''korōnis'' as "crook-beaked" from which a general meaning of "curved" is supposed to have derived.〔Liddel et al. 1996: 983 s.v. ii. 2.〕 Pierre Chantraine concurs and derives the word from (''korōnē''), "crow", assigning the meaning of the epithet's use in reference to the textual symbol to the same semantic range of "curve".〔P. Chantraine 1968: 570 s.v. .〕 But, given the fact that the earliest coronides actually take the form of birds, there has been debate about whether the name of the textual symbol initially referred to use of a decorative bird to mark a major division in a text or if these pictures were a secondary development that played upon the etymological relation between ''korōnē'', "crow", and ''korōnis'', as in "curved".〔Schironi 2010: 16–17.)〕
