Pardon the noise

If anyone hears inarticulate screaming coming from the eastern Mediterranean in the next few days, don't worry. It's (probably) not another riot, just your friendly correspondent venting frustration with translating a book's worth of agreements so poorly written as to border on the incoherent

hmm...maybe it means whatever the value of 200000 shares would be? The only other thing I can think is that it's like the Ancient Greek muriades, which could mean either literally ten thousand or just a lot/innumerable.

If you want to send the Greek over, I've got a little time tonight.

Thanks! But a) I finally figured it out with a little help from colleagues (forgot to update the rant), b) I don't want to set you frothing at the mouth when you've got your own major-league headaches to deal with. Because gramatically incorrect Greek lawyerese is enough to set off even the native Greek speakers in the office, and you'll hate me forever if I inflict that on you, and I don't have enough friends that I can afford that...

But still, thanks anyway! :)
