Inscription on marble plaque at Philippi corrected after spelling error
- Written by E.Tsiliopoulos
The spelling mistake on the inscription of a plaque at the archaeological site of Philippi that informs visitors of its new status as a UNESCO World Heritage site was corrected, the culture ministry said in a statement on Monday.
It also said the plexiglass adjusted on the marble cube has been replaced.
Culture Minister Lydia Koniordou unveiled the new plaque during a ceremony on Sunday and soon after the event, social media users noticed that the inscription had a spelling mistake: Instead of “World” (Heritage site), it read “Word” (Heritage site).
“Such mistakes are usually attributed to a printing mistake but in this case the ‘mistake’ appears to have given rise to excessive reactions and comments on the internet and elsewhere,” the ministry said.
