Summary
Some Greek texts contain words in Latin script and/or with Latin endings. Latin script occurs mainly in Roman law texts; these are investigated with particular attention to Theophilus Antecessor and the Scholia Sinaitica. Evidence for script mixture within individual words is considered. Words in Latin script and/or with Latin endings are more likely to be codeswitches than loanwords, but some loanwords appear with one or both these features. Multi-word phrases retain their original script and inflections much more often than individual words; these are mostly codeswitches, but some phrases may be loanwords.
