Ancient Greek music in 12 equal

In these two Wikipedia articles

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seikilos_epitaph

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delphic_Hymns

we find midi examples which, unless the ancient Greeks, like Monz's
hypothetical Sumerians, worked in 12-et cannot be correct. But what
*is* correct? Due to the wonderful nature of Wikipedia, I can correct
the tuning if I know what "correct" actually is.

I note also there isn't an article on the Hurrian hymn; if Monz will let
my 50-et version of his rendering of the hymn be used as an example,
that would be nice.

You have my permission to upload to Wikipedia any info
or audio you want to make of my version of the Hurrian Hymn,
with appropriate credits and links to my own webpages about
it.

I've been meaning to say something to you about what i
perceive is your recent bout of work on Wikipedia pages
about microtonal stuff -- i really wish you'd contribute
your work to the Tonalsoft Encyclopedia instead.

When i was visiting with Chris (Tonalsoft President)
a month ago, we learned how Microsoft's latest version
of Help menu pages simply converts HTML pages, and so
now i'll be able to easily realize my long-time dream
of incorporating the entire Tonalsoft Encyclopedia into
the Help menu on Tonescape, offline. I love for you to
contribute your work to that.

Wikipedia has no exclusive rights whatever; you can take those web
pages for dictionary use, or ask me to expand on them. Wikipedia is
much easier to write for--I can do it directly, using a Wiki
interface. I can write math formulas. I can make changes whenever I
like. Other people correct my mistakes. Other people also screw things
up, but that can be dealt with.

There are programs which convert wiki to html.
