Ты совершенно точно описала единственную гипотезу, которую предлагает Аллен (но довольно неуверенно) :)
"Inscriptional spellings often show doubling of the first consonant of a group, particularly if this is σ (e.g. 5 c. BC, Attic μαλισστα ); but such doubling is not distinctive; its purpose is uncertain, and it may be intended only to show that the group is divided between two syllables."
