1 lotus, 2 coils of rope, 2 hobbles, 3 strokes

1 × 1,000 + 2 × 100 + 2 × 10 + 3 × 1 = 1,223. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.

Babylonian

2 corner wedges (sixties place), 2 corner wedges + 3 vertical wedges (units place)

20 × 60 + 23 = 1223. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
