I read from "Archilochus' Message Stick",

"epeo tin humin ainon o kerukide akhnumeme skutale" (Archilochus).
"skutale punax deltos ethos de laikeidaimoinis khrestai skutale anti ton
grammateion"

So obviously it was _against_ 'gramma', which was a variant of "graphos",
written word. This Archilochus was a master of the 'skutale'.
