The Salamis Tablet is a marble counting board (an early counting device) dating from around 300 B.C. that was discovered on the island of Salamis in 1846.  A precursor to the abacus, it is thought that it represents an ancient Greek means of performing mathematical calculations common in the ancient world.  Pebbles () were placed at various locations and could be moved as calculations were performed.  The marble tablet itself has dimensions of approximately 150 × 75 × 4.5 cm.

Discovery

Originally thought to be a gaming board, the slab of white marble is currently at the Epigraphical Museum in Athens.

Description
Five groups of markings appear on the tablet. The three sets of Greek symbols arranged along the left, right and bottom edges of the tablet are numbers from the acrophonic system. In the center of the tablet – a set of five parallel lines equally divided by a vertical line, capped with a semicircle at the intersection of the bottom-most horizontal line and the single vertical line.  Below a wide horizontal crack is another group of eleven parallel lines.  These are divided into two sections by a line perpendicular to them but with the semicircle at the top of the intersection; the third, sixth and ninth of these lines are marked with a cross where they intersect with the vertical line.

Numerical representations
As with an abacus, pebbles represent small numbers (generally between zero and four) and a system of lines serves to group them by powers of ten.  A pebble between the lines represents half the value of a pebble on the line above it.  So a pebble on the first line represents a 1; above the first line is a 5; second line is 10; above the second line is 50; etc.

The vertical line divides positive and negative portions of the Salamis Tablet.  Pebbles on the right side of the vertical line represent positive digits and those on the left side of the line represent negative digits.

A complete number is composed of various pebbles on lines and spaces, both on the positive and negative sides.  For example, the number 4 might be represented as a pebble above the right side of the first line plus a pebble on the left side of the first line; the pebble

 Description 
 Five groups of markings appear on the pad. The three sets of Greek symbols arranged along the left, right and bottom boundary of the tablet are numbers from the acrophonic system. In the center of the tablet – a hardening of five parallel lines equally divided by a vertical line, capped with a semicircle at the intersection of the bottom - most horizontal line and the single erect channel.   Below a wide horizontal shot is another group of eleven parallel argumentation.   These are divided into two sections by a lineage perpendicular to them but with the semicircle at the top of the intersection; the third, sixth and ninth of these lines are notice with a cross where they intersect with the vertical line. 

 Numerical representations 
 As with an abacus, pebbles represent modest numbers (generally between zero and four) and a system of lines serve to group them by powers of ten.   A pebble between the pipeline represents half the value of a pebble on the line above it.   So a pebble on the first line constitute a 1; above the first line is a 5; second line is 10; above the second credit line is 50; etc. 

 The vertical line divides positive and minus portions of the Salamis Tablet.   pebble on the right side of the vertical line represent convinced digits and those on the leftover side of the line constitute negative digits. 

 A arrant number is compose of various pebble on lines and spaces, both on the positive and negative side.   For model, the number 4 might be represented as a pebble above the correct side of the first line plus a pebble on the left side of the first occupation; the pebble
