Here’s a figure of the arras that Jacob was working on:

The letters are Greek, and are:

theta xi omicron iota

tau omicron sigma alpha

delta omicron iota xi nu

omicron sigma alpha phi rho xi sigma iota

sigma eta sigma iota

mu xi nu omicron iota nu alpha zeta

I looked round and establish a string on Lostpedia, which states it roughly translates to:

“May the gods grant thee all that thy heart desires.#8221;

Line 180 of The Odyssey, Book 6.
