Revision (23:38, 28 July 2006) 72.224.16.72 added the following:

It bears a Greek inscription, "Water is Best" attributed to Thales

However, the following web page implies this is no longer the case by using past tense:

The hieroglyphics above are said to record its building in the thirteenth year of the reign of Queen Victoria. Originally there was also an inscription in Greek stating "water is best". http://www.singlefile.uku.co.uk/north_bucks_way.htm

Is there a Greek speaker who can give us a definitive answer? The photograph shows the text quite clearly. As far as I can tell, the text is ΑΡΙΣΤοΝ ΜΕΝ ΥΔΩ.

Apparently Pindar, Aristotle and others said the same thing. The exact phrase is: ΑΡΙΣΤοΝ ΜΕΝ ΥΔΩP It looks as if the last "rho" got cut off in the last post. It is visible on the photo. For a source,see page 7 of http://www.helleniclinkmidwest.org/newsletters/HLMWnumber30.pdf. The inscription has clearly been restored since the time of the photograph (c. 1910) shown here: http://apps.buckscc.gov.uk/eforms/photolibrary/photoDetail.aspx?id=11357

A photograph to illustrate the article on Bugle Quarry in Hartwell (taken from outside the fence as I understand the site is unsafe) would be very helpful. Dudley Miles (talk) 13:42, 10 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]
