Italian term or phrase: segno lezionale
I am experiencing some difficulty with this syntagm. Here is the context:

Doveva esserci in questo verso qualche motivo di ambiguità, se chi ha aggiunto ***i segni lezionali a*** Π1, ha ritenuto necessario dividere ]ν da ηματι con una ὑποδιαcτολή, e marcare eta con un’ ὀξεῖα.

Can anyone help? Thank you!

agree  philgoddard: It gets very few hits, but it appears to mean a symbol (such as an accent) that makes the text easier to read, in this case by removing an ambiguity. There may be a more common way of expressing it.

  -> Yes, it is difficult to find the meaning in the internet, either in Italian and in English. It's some sort of code or clue for the understanding of ancient texts
