The earliest usage of the term ''diesis'' was due to {{w|Philolaus}} in [[ancient Greek music]] to refer to an interval that is known as the [[256/243|limma]] today. Another usage, also in ancient Greek theory and notably used by {{w|Aristoxenus}}, would refer to a number of quartertone-sized intervals. In more recent times, {{w|Marchetto da Padova}} used it for fifth-tones, and finally, the modern diesis centered around [[31edo|1\31]] is due to [[Adriaan Fokker]]. | The earliest usage of the term ''diesis'' was due to {{w|Philolaus}} in [[ancient Greek music]] to refer to an interval that is known as the [[256/243|limma]] today.
