I’m looking for this paper: Raasted, J. (1962). A Primitive Palaeobyzantine Musical Notation. Classica et Mediaevalia 23:302-310.
If you are interested why: I identified ca. 10 hymns in one 11th c. Georgian manuscript, that seem to contain the so-called theta notation (of course the “theta” here is written as ”oxeia”). This is something new and interesting. At the moment I won’t go into details why this “oxeia” sign in my manuscript is indeed a musical sign and not a random pen stroke.
