In the picture, you say that Boethius used the letters A through O for the notes that a theoretical male singer could sing. Since I and J were not distinguished in his time, this is 14 letters, making two octaves. Since we didn't repeat letters, it seems strange to stop at the high G and not continue with an extra high A to finish off the scale, but perhaps he thought of scales differently (or just did not have faith in his male singers).
