metadata.value: Some ancient sources claim that the orthian nome was named so due to its rhythm. In order to
  estimate the probability of this assertion the author first examines known cases of ὄρθιος as a
  metrical or rhythmical term. After dismissing evidence which seems either mistaken or using
  ὄρθιος in a non-technical sense, the author believes that the following meanings are reliably attested:
  (1.1) an iambic trimeter with only pure iambic feet (possibly the term could be applied
  to other uniform verses as well); (1.2) a cretic with a resolution of both longs; (1.4) a sequence
  – ∪∪ – – ; (1.6) an elongated iambic foot, which consists of a tetraseme and an octaseme syllable.
  Next, the author analyzes what is reported concerning the rhythm of the orthian nome.
  As authors of the classical period, who were still able to hear the piece performed, attribute
  two different rhythms to it (elongated iambs and τὸ κατὰ δάκτυλον εἶδος), and also claim that
  Terpander used orthian rhythm to create a particular version of the orthian melody, it follows
  that ὄρθιος νόμος was not named ἀπὸ τοῦ ῥυθμοῦ. In support of this conclusion, it seems clear
  that the orthian nome was very well known to common people in the fifth century BC, so that
  its name must have been understood even by those who were no experts in rhythmical theory.
