## About this plate

THE TWO-LETTER PREFECTURE SERIES. Recorded as a deliberate gap rather than authored from folklore.

## About the format

Whether the fourteen-letter restriction already applied in 1972 is unknown, and whether the digits ran 1000-9999 or from 1 is unknown. A match here means "this string has a shape Greece is reported to have issued" and nothing more.
