[size=24pt]November = Νοέμβριος[/size]

The date looks like NOE

The following are the months of January to December in Greek and you will see that the only one which begins with an N in Greek is November, so it must be so!
[size=14pt]Ιανουάριος
Φεβρουάριος
Μάρτιος
Απρίλιος
Μάιος
Ιούνιος
Ιούλιος
Αύγουστος
Σεπτέμβριος
Οκτώβριος
Νοέμβριος
Δεκέμβριος[/size]
