1 lotus, 5 coils of rope, 6 strokes
1 × 1,000 + 5 × 100 + 6 × 1 = 1,506. The signs are simply repeated and added; where they sit on the line is a matter of layout, not value.
Babylonian
2 corner wedges + 5 vertical wedges (sixties place), 6 vertical wedges (units place)
25 × 60 + 6 = 1506. Places are separated by a space on the tablet, with the higher place written first.
