For further examples and discussion, see Francis Thomas Gignac, /A Grammar of the Greek Papyri of the Roman and Byzantine Periods./ Volume One: Phonology. Milan 1976.
More readable and with good grasp of linguistic development is: Geoffrey Horrocks, /Greek, A History of the Language and its Speakers./ Longmans, 1997.
