Being Greek and having a bad handwriting I’m sure I could help with deciphering some letters. Heck, I can even see a capital lambda ā€œĪ›ā€ in the lowres image :-) This would be a good case for a crowdsourcing science project with Greek universities/high schools.

iirc the challenge is not so much recognition of letters as calibrating all systems to flesh them out in the first place.

The scrolls are stuck in their rolled state, very fragile, and, well, paper-thin.
