‎First, his reading. Enel says the inscription was written upside down and has to be read from right to left. Turn it around and the first three signs become the same letter, Lamed, written three times in three different scripts: ancient Hebrew, Samaritan and Greek.

‎Sounds like a stretch, right? Except that in 1815 the French esotericist Fabre d'Olivet published a comparative alphabet where every Hebrew letter sits next to its Samaritan and Greek twins. Look at the row for Lamed: Hebrew ל, Samaritan Lamed, Greek Λ. Exactly Enel's three, side by side, a century before Yekaterinburg.
