Maybe it's pseudo Greek Grauniad?

Anybody else want to have a go at this puzzle?

Oikos

I mean it’s not as if the Greeks hadn’t settled the coast nearby. Marseille for example is originally a Greek city. And Barcelona’s name references the Barcas of Carthage so maybe it’s worth chasing their alphabet up too. It could be an amalgam maybe of Greek, Roman & Carthagian scripts.
