Text #4180354

The earliest known punctuation - credited to Aristophanes of Byzantium (librarian at Alexandria) around 200 BC - was a three-part system of dramatic notation (involving single points at different heights on the line) advising actors when to breathe in preparation for a long bit, or a not-so-long bit, or a relatively short bit. And that's all there was to it.

—from Eats, Shoots & Leaves: The Zero Tolerance Approach to Punctuation, a book by Lynne Truss
