I did get a reply from Dr. Johnson:<br>
<br>
"So glad you enjoyed the site. The Yale piece (the vocal musical notation) is early 2nd century AD; the Michigan piece (the instrumental notation) is harder to date, but<br>
roughly of that same era.<br>
<br>
"The details of ancient musical notation are by now well documented: see esp. Martin West's book published by Oxford University Press, and entitled, Ancient Greek Music. I've also included on the web site a list of recordings that are at least based on the ancient melodies (see my annotations there for my judgement on the reliability).<br>

"Many thanks for writing, -waj" <p>Richard<br>
