I recall seeing a reference to a "find" by the archaeologists of a small and
obscure inscription (or grafitti), that was made by the mason (tradesman)
who worked on one of the ancient Greek temples. The mason had scratched some
geometric figures
into the surface of the stone. These figures were not part of the formal
decoration, but simply a part of his way
to figure out some detail of the temple's construction, rather like a modern
carpenter might scribble on the back of a plank. Have you heard of such a
find?
I would like to obtain a photo of such grafitti.

Thank you for your help.
