I think it's a case of HN once again butchering the title. I submitted it as the exact title from our page on scrollprize.org, "An _Entire_ Herculaneum Scroll Has Been Read For The First Time", which is IIRC true.

From my cursory reading of the pre-print, it didn't seem like the entire scroll has been read? Or rather, you read everything that can be read, but part of the original have been lost? (Like columns 1-4).
VERY COOL WORK!
Ok, I've restored the entire title above. Sorry about that!
(Btw, you can use the 'edit' link to fix things like this if the software gets a title change wrong.)
