	Diptych - LoveToKnow 1911
		The latter variety of diptych was inscribed with the magistrate's name and bore his portrait, and was issued to his friends and the public generally.
		The insertion of a name on the diptych, thereby securing the prayers of the church, was a privilege from which a person could be excluded on account of suspicion of heresy or by the intrigues of enemies.
		A third fold was consequently provided, and the tablet became a triptych (though the name diptych was retained as a general term for the object).

	Diptych - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Holding a diptych so that its gnomon-string is at the correct angle is often finicky, especially near sunrise, sunset and noon, so many later diptychs had magnetic compasses and plumb-bobs to help, but these were luxuries, not necessities.
		Some diptychs also had rough calendars, in the form of pelikinons calibrated to a nodus in the form of a bead or knot on the string.
		Diptychs that combined writing and timekeeping often have a slot on one leaf to hold the gnomon.
