The Milesian system is essentially a place value system with distinct places for units, tens and hundreds. Because units, tens and hundreds use distinct character ranges, however, there is no need of a 0 character.
The order of units is right to left from smallest to largest.
The string τξε is a valid string for the numeric value 365.
The string τ ξ ε (including white spaces )is also a valid string since white space is not significant.
The string τε (with no tens digit) is a valid string for the numeric value 305.
The string ετ is NOT valid since its digits are not ordered right to left from smallest value to largest value.
For values of 1,000 - 9,000, the Milesian notation uses the same unit digits, but separated by a comma from the value < 1,000.
The string α,α is a valid string for the numeric value 1001.
The value 10,000 is represented by upper case mu, Μ, for myriad.
values > 10,000 to left of M
values < 1,000 separated by comma from 1,000 to 9,999
The string Μα,α is a valid string for the numeric value 11,001.
