I-DA-MA-TE

KY Za 2 gives the base word DA-MA-TE; here, the initial I- is probably a prefixed preposition, "to".

DA-MA-TE looks like the name of a deity, given the votive nature of the gold ax, but, since Demeter is a thoroughly Indo-European name (Duhoux 1994–95, 289-294), we would not expect it to incorporate a Minoan theonymn.

ARKH Zc 8 (HM 21.172; Sakellarakis 1975; Sakellarakis & Sakellarakis 1997, I: 332, fig. 295), painted larnax rim from "the upper burial level of Tholos Tomb E," EM II-MM IA context (in Sakellarakis 1975), Protopalatial (in Sakellarakis & Sakellarakis 1997, 332; Del Freo & Zurbach 2011, p. 86).

*306-TA-JE

In the illustration [above; 1997, fig. on p. 332], the first sign looks like a pictogram of a bull-head with double horns; the authors suggest *306. *306-TA-JE may be a (personal) name; cf. *306-TU-JA, a (personal?) name in a list on HT 115b.3.

ARKH Zf 9 (HM inv. no. unknown; Sakellarakis & Sakellarakis 1997, 1: 169-179 (especially 174-179), 332-333, fig. 296; Verduci & Davis 2015, fig. 4; Del Freo & Zurbach 2011, p. 86). Silver hairpin from the pillar room of Tholos B, mixed MM I-LM I context.

JA-KI-SI-KI-NU • MI-DA-MA-RA₂ •

For JA-KI-SI-KI-NU, cf. QA-KI-SE-NU-TI (CR (?) Zf 1), SI-KI-NE (HT 116a.5-6), and A-DA-KI-SI-KA (KH 5.1).

We may expect the word order to be a variation on OVS (with both the Object and Verb understood by context): [O]I[V]S; cf. ZA Zb 3 (Davis, 2011/2014, p. 378). Thus, "MI-DA-MA-RA₂ [dedicates me] to I-A-KI-SI-KI-NU" A-DA-KI-SI-KA (KH 5.1).

The clay is dark and very finely levigated; it does not seem to be local.

r01, 02: SI may refer to animals being fattened; see the commentary to PH? 31, and Schoep 2002, 102.

r03: it is conceivable that SI-DA-RO (hapax legomenon) could refer to Cape Sidero (also spelled Sidara), if this were a pre-Greek name.

GO Wc 1 (HM 83) (GORILA II: 2; Hallager 1996a, Roundel 2: 11), from House Cf 25, "one of the older houses on the eastern slope of the hill; this area, Quarters C and D, probably went out of use after an LM IA destruction" (Weingarten, Aegaeum 5, 109-110, n. 30, citing Hood & Betancourt, both in Thera and the Aegean World, 1978, 685-86 and 384, respectively). Hallager ( Aegaeum 5, p. 127) notes that the number 5 written after the logogram corresponds to the number of impressions (cf. HT Wc 3024), implying that, on roundels, the number of impressions probably corresponds to the number of commodities involved in the transaction.

the logogram: lopsided circle containing 2 dots; loops to the sides

the seal: cf. CMS XII, no. 15D

the number: two horizontal strokes (20) are followed by two lightly incised vertical strokes(2). The two sets of numbers may explain the logogram. The circle with two dots looks similar to Cretan Hieroglyphic signs *074 (with two internal dots) and *075 (with three dots) on Knossos bar #053; there, the two signs obviously function as collectives for 20 and 30 commodities, apparently BOS (bovines). If the circle with two dots on GO Wc 3 is also a collective, i.e., 20, that would explain the added two horizontal strokes, clarifying that the two vertical strokes refer to the two dots in the circle, but since these are actually tens, the scribe added the two horizontal strokes to refer to the collective 20.

HAROR, ISRAEL

HAR Zb 1 inscribed sherd (inv. no. 20984; Del Freo & Zurbach 2011, p. 86), Late Bronze III (1700-1600/1550); E.D. Oren, "Minoan Graffito from Tel Haror (Negev, Israel)," Cretan Studies 5 (1996) 91-118; the site is in the northern Negev (ancient Gerar), not the more famous site of Tel Haror in the northern Galilee. The inscription used to be filed under "TEL", but another Linear A inscription comes from another Tel, Tel Lachish (Del Freo & Zurbach 2011, 89).

BOS / TELA+TE / FIC

For the BOS and the general layout of the signs here, compare ARKH Zc 8.
GORILA vol. 5 pp. xxiv and xxv gives ligatured signs with TELA (*54: *535 and *536) and with VIN (*131+: *588-*598). All these leave a rectangular space at the top of loom/trellis, unlike the closed box-sign on the Haror sherd. For this reason I have marked the transcription of the ligature here as "doubtful"; the BOS, however, is clear.

INATOS, CAVE OF EILEITHYIA

IN Zb 1 Miniature vase, inscription on bottom (HM P32764; A. Kanta, C. Davaras, P.P. Betancourt, Honors to Eileithyia at Ancient Inatos: The Sacred Cave of Eileithyia at Tsoutsouros, Crete: Highlights of the Collection, INSTAP Academic Press 2022, pp. 37-38, fig. 30; Del Freo & Zurbach 2011, p. 86).

NU-RO

The sequence NU-R- also appears in ]-TE-NU-RE (KH 6.1), *047-NU-RA-JA (HT 115a.1), ]NU-RI-JA[ (PK Zc 13). It is possible that NU-RO is a personal name and -NU-RA-JA/-NU-RI-JA are personal adjectives.

A-JE-SA

IO Za 2 (HM 3557) (GORILA V: 18-19), square Libation Table, serpentine, with 5 facets per side and one at each corner, making 24 facets in all. Line 1 goes all the way around the Table, its signs being placed one in a facet, its first sign placed in the first facet of side a just after the left corner (whose facet contains the last sign, MA). The signs of Line 2 do not go all the way around the table; they start below the beginning of line 1 and end somewhere on side c or at the beginning of side d; these signs are placed more or less below the ridges that divide the facets above. Line 1, therefore, should contain 24 signs; line 2 contained 13-26 signs. Word divisions in line 1 are on the ridges separating facets. Holes were drilled part-way through the corners, perhaps to hold a lid or some vertical attachments (cf. KN Za 10).

.1: A-TA-I-*301-WA-JA • JA-DI-KI-TU • JA-SA-SA-RA[-ME • U-NA-KA-NA-]SI [•] I-PI-NA-MA •

.2: SI-RU-TE • TA-NA-RA-TE-U-TI-NU • I-DA-•[

Line 1 has all signs perfectly placed. Line 2 is problematic, but probably ended with a word of 6 signs, the first of which is I- (for the second sign, GORILA reads DA, but it could be something else). In the attached illustration, JGY hypothesizes a word-divider on side d between -NA-SI • and I-PI-NA-; on the other sides word-dividers are placed exactly in the center of the ridges dividing the niches. On side d, the 3rd ridge from the left corner is preserved well enough that it is possible that it carried no word-divider.

Einatos, modern Tsoutsouros, lies on the south coast, half way between Lendas and Mirtos, too far for Khania to have exercised control. The cave of Eileithyia yielded dedications from the Neopalatial period into Roman.

This is one of only two opisthographic tablets from Khania (cf. KH 97).

.a: The repetitions VIR+*313b and VIR *303+D may reflect a fixed ratio: J : 10 as B : 4 as 1 JE L₂ : 18. Taking the first one, J:10, that ratio = 1/2 : 10 or 1:20. If the ratio is the same for the other citations, then B is to 4 as 1 is to 20, and thus B = 1/5 (cf. KH 4), not 1/3. If the same ratio holds for 1 JE L₂, we would have to correct 18 to 38 (18 is certain, but there is room for two more ten-dashes): thus, 1 JE + L₂ = 38/20, or 7/4 + L₂ = 38/20, or 35/20 +L₂ = 38/20, or L₂ = 3/20.

a.3: I-JA-PA-ME, cf. I-JA-PA[ (IO Za 2), I-NA-JA-PA-QA (Libation Formula word 8).

b: a wide left margin (~1.5 cm)

b: seal impression CMS V Supp. 1A 153: bull in PT 5B, L

.a-.g: A-KI-DA-RO

The two sealings present the same inscription, but GORILA presents it in two different ways. GORILA III, 104, prints out signs *08-*67-*01-*60 (A-KI-DA-RO). But GORILA IV, 248 and 296, notes the more solid shape of the double-ax sign and transcribes it as *317

; and, since each pair of syllables is on a separate side of the sealing and therefore consists of one large and one smaller sign to fit in the small space, GORILA IV presents each pair as a ligature: *317+KI (*640 on side a) DA+RO (*501 on side g). Ligature *640 may occur also on KH 7a.1, but the reading is doubtful. On the two sealings, the double ax sign's two horizontal lines are long, continuous, and curved, cut through by the vertical hasta as the last line drawn. Sign *317 occurs on three (other) documents, as a logogram only. On ARKH 3a.3 and 5, the horizontals are short and straight with the vertical lines at either end extending above and below. On HT 96a.3, the sign looks exactly like a speared box, very neatly drawn. And on PH 9a, it looks exactly like the speared box on HT 96a.3 but on its side, with the hasta to the right. In other words, the double ax sign on the sealings, with its curved horizontals, does not look like the (other) examples of *317 or the common, abstract and linear versions of *08. Instead, it has affinities with other renderings of *08 A that refer more artistically to the solid and curved blades of the double ax: HT 88.1 has *08 with two horizontal lines very close together ending in curved vertical blade ends (cf. the curved blade ends on HT 126a.1 and the close pair of horizontals on PK Za 4, Za 12). The sign's more sculptural counterparts are seen in KO Za 1.a, c (GORILA IV); and IO Za 2a.1, Za 3, and Za 7 (GORILA V).

KNOSSOS

Owens 1993c sees the four mason marks on the Royal Tomb (Evans, Prehistoric Tombs of Knossos, 1906, fig. 146) as an inscription, KN Ze 45, KA-SI-A-TE, and, following Boskamp 1990, the perplexing drawing on a (ProtoPalatial?) stone block at the NW corner of the KN palace (PM I fig. 98) as another inscription, KN Ze 44, I-•-WA-JA. The former is lost, but Hood ("Mason's Marks in the Palaces" in The Function of the Minoan Palaces, R. Hägg & N. Marinatos eds., 205-212, esp. 209) took the marks as mason marks (JGY agrees); the latter is still to be seen on site and, to JGY, if it must be interpreted as anything, it looks like an architectural plan.

a: QA-KI[

b: NU-SE-[

g: seal impression: architectonic cushion seal (CMS II 8, no. 95)

In Evans, the first Linear A inscription is really only a single sign QA followed by what looks like a bull-head rhyton (Evans called it a lion-head, which Koehl, Aegeaqn Bronzae Age Rhyta, pl. 61, lower right, repeats). GORILA seems to be working with the same sealing but in comparison it looks like it is missing its right edge, and thus the inscription is different: QA-KI[ (looking like a cup). Evans (PM II, fig. 242c) and GORILA also give a second inscription, NU-SE, which GORILA sees as incomplete, but in Evans it’s apparently complete.

The two inscriptions, however, can be read as one:
a)-b<-): QA-KI-SE-NU-[,
which appears on the gold hair pin CR(?) Zf 1 (Ayios Nikolaos Museum) QA-KI-SE-NU-TI. The ending -NU-TI appears twice more and KI-SE is also common.

GORILA draws but omits (from its transcription) the 4th sign from the end; if this is U, it is reversed. JGY: A-DI-DA-KI-TI-PA-KU looks like a muddled version of A-DI-KI-TE, and the succession of syllables JU-KU- etc. sounds like gibberish. See the note to the next cup.

c-d: I-PI-NA-MA • SI-RU-TE

b: Brent Davis points out that RE strongly resembles *122 (OLIV) in SY Za 2; GORILA may have been aware of this since it draws RE (IV:18) very much like a logogram, and includes the sign in its palaeography of RE (V: xxxiii). A logogram in the midst of an otherwise complete Libation Formula could seem out of place, and perhaps for that reason, as well as the parallels with DU-/PU/-RE on PK Za 8 & 15, GORILA may have chosen to interpret the sign as RE.

DA-MA-TE

The word curves around the upper point of the ladle but reads from the point of view of the person holding the ladle in cupped hands (cf. PK Za 18, 20). The DA occurs to the left of the ladle's point, the MA-TE at the point itself.

Presumably the fraction E [1/4] refers to the weight of the weight. See MA Wc <5>.

+SU-PU *415VAS+SU-PU on HT 31.2, and

+SU-PA₃-RA on HT 31.5. Also see the notes to HT 31

Perna 2003: presumably, E and F are fractions [1/4 and 1/8, respectively], possibly referring to the weight of the vases [of metal?] or, less likely, their capacity; cf. PH 8a. (JGY:

+A *407VAS+A: HT 39.5).

Ω (*713) is hapax legomenon here; it is obviously taken from Hieroglyphic (as is the bar form of the document), CHIC 304 (Lambda)

, with a value of 1/2 (see Hieroglyphic s.v. "Fractions").

The other adjuncts, SU, A, TI, *301+MI, may indicate the name of the vessel (for

*404VAS+A cup, cf. HT 39.5

*407VAS+A bucket with 2 high-placed vertical handles).

MA Wc <5> (HM ?) (GORILA II: 88; Hallager 1996a, Roundel 2: 177; Hallager & Weingarten 1993: 2-3 fig. 1; found by a farmer, provenience unknown)

a.1-2: A-SA-DA-KA	b: GRA+E {*581} 4	1	"two birds" like Levi, HT 20 (not published in CMS II 6).

a: The 4 signs are written in two lines: A-SA above DA-KA. Hallager suggests they are to be read as one word. It is usual for sign groups of 3 signs to be written in 1 line on roundels (e.g., HT Wc 3001), although there are exceptions (HT Wc 3009 & KH Wc 2005 [4 signs in 1 line]). And it is usual for signgroups of 4 or more signs to be written in multiple lines (e.g., GO Wc 1 [6 signs in 3 lines], PYR Wc 4 [4 signs in 2 lines]), ZA Wc 2 [7 signs in 2 lines]).

b: Hallager, Hallager 1996a, Roundel 1, pp. 101 & 230, interprets the amount of GRA as one shipment of 4 units of GRA+E consigned to one individual. But since E here is the fraction 1/4 perhaps GRA+E 4 means one shipment of one unit of GRA (120 liters [DOCs]) in four one-quarter unit containers; the single seal impression would then imply this shipment is overseen by one person. GRA+E may appear on the clay weight KY Zg 1.

London 2007) (LB I context, probably after the Minoan eruption of Santorini). Renfrew and Brice surmise that the tablet belonged to the LB I building that lay below the later Megaron, and they assume that it was of local manufacture (without testing, however). The tablet is described as being "made of a fine reddish clay, evenly fired ..." The transcription given below follows Brice to a great extent.

*401VAS resembles a cup (pointed foot with horizontal base) with 2 short horizontal handles. Brice identifies the vestige of another sign at right, but this is probably (to JGY) the other horizontal handle of the vase.

The tablet was ruled as it was written, rather than pre-ruled as with Linear B tablets; line 3 was written, then ruled, then erased, then SI was written on the right edge of the tablet and the signgroup completed (with I-NA 1) at the left margin and just below line 3, then a ruled line was started at that point with the signgroup of line 4 written below it. I have not tried to indicate all this.

this is one of the few documents to list just words, no numbers (cf. KH 79+89), and like PH 2, each statement (except for line 1) occupies its own line (cf. KH 79+89).

.1, .2, .4: all three words start with I-, perhaps the prefix meaning "to/at" (cf. I-DA-MA-TE); might these be built on placenames? (cf. NA-WI, ZU-RI-NI-MA).

.1, .3: A-RI acts like a tag to each of the 3 words: I-NA-WA, I-ZU-RI-NI-TA, and I-DA-PA-S₃.

.4: Because A-RI is duplicated at the end of each statement, we can see that I-DA-PA₃-I-S ends in the consonant -S, the only word in Linear A where we can know a final consonant.

Since the left edge of the table is completely broken away, the original width may only be guessed by assuming some word before the break - for instance, if .a2 did start with QA-QA-RU vel sim. (see comparison with HT tablets, below), there would have been room for two, possibly three signs at the left.

a.2, 4: CAPm+KU could be CAPm+A, especially on line 2

a.3 & b.4: the ligatures with SUS are on the tablet, but GORILA does not give numbers for these ligatures

a.3-4: PA-TA-DA ends line 3 at the preserved right edge of the tablet; line 4 begins with a break - there might be room, based on the observation above, for -DU-PU2-RE (cf. HT Zb 160).

a.5: the left edge of the tablet is broken away, but there is room for a few signs on line 5, if the scribe wrote down to the bottom as was done on the reverse. The left edge of the tablet can be approximately determined by supplying QA+QA+ to the beginning of line a.2. Since the document lists a total of CAPf 7, perhaps that and the total for CAPm followed a.4 OVISf 3 at the lower left edge of the document. If so, the total for CAPm was certainly 2, since 2 CAPm are specifically stated (b.2, 3), and the total for CAPf must be 8 (7 are specifically stated, b.1, 3) plus one more to be restored on b.2. That there is room for CAPm 2 CAPf 8 at the lower left is obvious in a restoration drawing of side a with the left edge determined by restoring QA+QA+]RU on a.2. Thus, we can restore the complete total (omitting the total for OVISm SI+AU+RE on the assumption that they immature animals are counted but not totalled).

b.4: just to the left of -RU JGY sees the bottom short horizontal stroke of RI-; cf. b.3 TE-RI. For a major problem in reading this line, see below.

Julio Fontán-Tejeio (8 Nov 2010) corrected several errors in the identification of the animals (corrected above) and draws attention to the fact that KU-RO (a.4) totals the number of animals on both sides of the document. Side b is therefore the obverse and side a is the reverse:

Problem: SUS+SI[ (b.4) and SUS+SI+RE (a.3)

b.4: the citation of OVISm without a number after RI-RU-MA-TI is unique (Fontán-Tejeiro agrees) (there is no other certain example of a commodity listed without an amount; cf. MA 1, which lists *47 [which may or may not be a commodity] without an amount). That leads JGY to wonder if "SUS+SI[" (I give here a photo of this signgroup) is not actually a modification of OVISm with the number of such modified rams lost (perhaps followed by the strokes in the lower left corner, CAPm+KU; see the MA HREF="../pix/PH_31_recon.jpg">reconstruction). This would imply a phonetic transcription of SUS+SI as AU+SI[ or SI+AU[. This signgroup apparently recurs on a.3 of this tablet, SUS+SI+RE. It may be possible to interpret this occurrence also as a phonetic modification of the commodity presumably stipulated at the end of the list associated with MA-DI, now transcribed as •]+NE (adjunct +NE occurs elsewhere only with OLE: HT 23a.1, 32.1, .4, & 100.5). This part of the tablet is extremely abraded, but two, possibly three, short wavy horizontal lines (interpreted by GORILA as the top and middle horizontal strokes of NE) might actually be the male-indicators of an animal logogram.

Since pigs are thought to be recorded only in the signgroup SUS+SI[+RE on this tablet, they may actually not exist -- otherwise only OVIS & CAP are listed; instead, the signgroup may modify OVISm. Neither OVISm OVISf, nor BOS are modified by ligatures in the Linear A corpus, but OVIS+SI recurs three times on ZA 9 (VINa •SI• occurs only once, on HT 27b.1-2, and probably has nothing to do with the ligature OVIS+SI). CAP is ligatured only as CAPm+KU on our PH(?) 31 tablet.

If we turn to Linear B, we find BOS+SI (PY Cn 418.02, 03) and SUS+SI (PY Cn 608.03-11, Ua 25.01, Un 2.06, Un 138.04; TH Wu 52A, 68A). Apparently +SI stands for si-a₂-ro (as specified with pigs on PY Cn 608.01), corresponding to Classical Greek σίαρος, "fat hog."

Back to Linear A and PH(?) 31.a3, b.4: if SUS+SI could actually be AU+SI, and if the signgroup (now: SUS+SI+RE) could be read differently, as SI+AU+RE, it might be the Linear A predecessor of Linear B si-a₂-ro, and might therefore refer to the preceding OVISm (in b.4, and possibly in a.3), following the "continuity" principle [see discussion on the homepage]: i.e., KU-PA₃-NU (OVISm) SI+AU+RE 1, with OVISm continued over from the last citation for MA-DI (if the last citation was indeed OVISm). The total of 5 for OVISm allows for OVISm 1 to be restored to PA-TA-DA (a.3-4), that is, OVISm not SI+AU+RE, thus reinstating a new subject. (If SI+AU+RE meant "to get fat" or "to get mature," vel sim. it could apply also to the OVIS+SI on ZA 9.)

Most (all) of the names on PH(?) 31 are duplicated on HT tablets (one name duplicated[?] on ZA 10a).

retrograde: RI-QE-TI-A-SA-SA-RA-*325 •

JGY finds all the signs slightly doubtful, none more so than the others.

David Willem Borgdorff (personal communication 23 July 2002) suggested that the phrase should be understood as separated into two parts (RI-QE-TI A-SA-SA-RA-*325), though that might obscure the meaning, if the final -I (in RI-QE-TI) acted like the usual prefix J- to A-SA-SA-RA. It is likely that *325 stands for either the usual ending -ME or the variant ending -MANA.

PSYKHRO

PS Za 2, serpentine offering table or kernos with 3 cup sinkings (2 smaller ones flank a central large cup; Evans, Scripta Minoa, 1909, pp. 13-16, figs. 7, 8; Davis 2011, pp. 477-478, fig. 162; GORILA IV: 52-55; GORILA V, p. 80, giving the Louvre inv. number), in 1 (Louvre) + 2 (joining) fragments (found by Evans: AM AE 1 & AM 1932.661; in the cave shelter ["Upper Grotto"] in front of the entrance to the deep cave itself. Evans's description of the finding of the fragments [Davis 2011, pp. 67-69] is muddled).

A small chip at the bottom rim of both fragments a and c has caused the signs above each chip to have been raised. The higher signs on fragment a may have led Strong 1931 to suggest fragment a belonged to a different kernos.

As in Davis's reconstruction drawing (below), the dedicatory inscription runs in 2 lines, each written by a different hand:

PS Scribe 1 (line 1) & Scribe 2 (line 2)

line 1: at the top of the table, partially preserved at the top of fragment 2

line 2: left half preserved at the bottom of fragment 1 (Louvre) and running across the gap onto (right half) the bottom of fragment 3

.1 (top of fragment b):	24?? ]-RE-I-KE
.2 (bottom of fragments a and c):	TA-NA-I-*301-TI • [ 6? ]-JA-TI •JA-SA-SA-RA-ME •

Line 2 of the inscription seems to conform to the Libation Formula, the verb, probably the name of the dedicant (-JA-TI), and sequence 3. Line 1 at the top adds other information, in a different hand

b: the logogram looks like a double Linear B *141/AURUM, perhaps the Linear A predecessor (Hallager 1996, vol. 2, p. 197).

]TE-JA[

Though the sherd is broken on all sides, there seems to be ample space for further traces of signs, if such existed; the inscription therefore may be complete. Ferrara et al. note that the second sign, if Hieroglyphic 056, is missing its top "handle." If Linear A JA, however, the sign is complete.

The sequence TE-JA occurs 3 times in Linear A: O-TE-JA, TE-JA-RE, WI-TE-JA-MU.

SAMOTHRACE

On the south-west coast, the site of Mikro Vouni produced a deeply stratified sequence of Late Neolithic/Chalkolithic to LM IA with local and Minoanizing pottery plus some Kamares Ware (for the stratigraphy and chronology, see CMS VS 3, pp. 497-500). Among the finds are clay nodules and noduli impressed by stamp seals (CMS VS 1B, no. 320 [cf. CMS V, no. 475 from Ayia Irini, Keos, EH II), 321 impressed by a Minoan metal ring, 322 impressed by a Minoan lentoid with standing agrimi on its face and, along its rim, by two Minoan cushion seals [nos. 323, 325] and by one Minoan lentoid [no. 324].

Schoep (2002: 35) incorrectly gives the weight as 1140 gr, misidentifying it as the marble cylinder found by Xanthoudides in 1909. (Thanks to Brent Davis for the bibliographical information).

At 3405 gr, the weight is equivalent to 55.82 Aegean Units (Petruso) or M 3 N 2 (ca. 3416 gr).

a: A-TA-I-*301-WA-JA • JA-SU-MA-TU OLIV •

b: U-NA-KA-NA-SI OLE

c: vacat

d: A-JA

a: Brent Davis points out that *122 OLIV strongly resembles RE in KO Za 1b; GORILA may have been aware of this since it draws the two signs very similarly. The Libation Formula here has been curtailed, omitting JA-SA-SA-RA-ME (perhaps replaced by d: A-JA) and the last three words in the Formula. If *122 OLIV is indeed the sign after JA-SU-MA-TU, then perhaps it is parallel to *322 OLE after U-NA-KA-NA-SI. The inscription then blends administrative information with the dedicatory Libation Formula.

SY Za 3 (HM 3757) (GORILA V: 66-67; ArchEph 2008, 198-9, 205-7), circular Libation Table, serpentine (MM IIIB-LM IA context; one fragment from the south area of the site and one fragment from the north part of the Enclosure).

RA is open towards the right like 20% of RA in Linear A, and thus the ancester to Linear B ra (on SY Zb 7). SE has a triangular base; cf. SY Za 6 & HT Zb 158a.

My reading of the tablets is based on Boulotis 1998, and my own autopsy in the Museum of Prehistoric Thera. All pieces are displayed under one museum inventory number, 8366; the divisions into "tablet 5, tablet 6," etc. are my own.

For the sealings, see CMS V Suppl. 3, nos. 391-401, 403-5 from D 18b (58 complete or almost complete sealings plus fragments of more) and 402 from D 18a found along with the tablets, all inside a bathtub; another sealing (unpublished) was found in trench 64 (south of Xeste 2; Praktika 1999, 189, pl. 121b-2) inside a wood box with a complete balance set of 2 bronze pans with pivot beam, a bronze ring, and two disc weights (lead and stone). All sealings seem to be of Knossian clay and all sealed small folded leather packages, except for 402, which sealed a peg. All other documents seem to be of local clays.

Owens 1994: 26 compares O-SU-QA-RE with Linear B su-ke-re mentioned as being at Setoija on KN As 40+5093 (cf. As 1516.20); since Troullos is "just ten minutes' walk from the findplace of the Archanes archive," Owens posits that Archanes is Setoija.

a.1: cf. DA-DU-MA-TA (HT 95 a.1); sign *516 (I+[?]) is a transaction sign (Schoep 2002, 98). Since I+[?] denotes "to" and -Tv probably denotes "from", we can read the document as a list of disbursements "from" Didikorama(t) of small amounts of agricultural commodities "to" Names.

a.5 & b.3: KU-PA, possibly a transaction term (Schoep 1994-95: 67, n. 47).

Schoep 2002, 98: with such small quantitites and the transaction sign 516, the commodities here are probably going out (allocations, disbursements?); contrast ZA 6, incoming commodities, without sign 516.

b.1: KA-DI is specially recorded here as having paid its 3 units VIN, owing on ZA 4.

Schoep 2002, 100: The total of VINa on a+b.1 is 95 1/2; the total on the rest of b is 95. If these amounts are assumed to be the same, then the distinctions on a+b1 might be flavor/age vel sim.

ZA Zb 3 (HM --) (GORILA IV: 112-113), pithos, inscription below rim, from Epano Zakros (Magazine Theta, LM IB context)

.1: VINa 32 DI-DI-KA-SE • A-SA-MU-NE • A-SE

.2: A-TA-I-*301-DE-KA • A-RE-PI-RE-NA • TI-TI-KU

The pithos records "VIN 32," probably the volume, 32 units; if Mycenaean units (28.8 l), the volume would have been 921.6 l. Since the pithos stands about 170 cm high, the vase-capacity program ("Vase" by Gregory Christiana, copyright 1994) calculates its maximum volume from its profile as slightly over 1000 l.

HT 96 records GRA and FIC "I-TI-TI-KU-NI A-PA-RA-NE".

ZA Zg 34 (BSA 7, 1900-1901, 136) stone weight (Raison-Pope 1994, 320), Hogarth House H; the weight carried 6 dots in two vertical rows and a sign

. JGY would amend Raison-Pope (TELA 60) to read a haftless double ax set vertically (which is common) plus the number 60 (possibly implying the subunit Linear A weight A711/X or 500 gr).

]ME-MI-JA-RU • SE-WA-AU-DE

Kopaka notes the appearance of au-de in Linear B (au-de-pi and au-de-we-sa in the PY Ta series; since there is no Greek interpretation of these words, perhaps au-de- is a Minoan element; cf. Jorro Auro 1999, I:143. JGY: in Kopaka's photograph, ME appears slightly separated from MI-JA-RU.

ZOMINTHOS

ZO Za 1 (News Network Archaeology, 15 August 2013, citing To Vima, 11 August 2013) small stone libation table ("altar," 20x20 cm) in 3 tiers (or inverted steps) bearing an inscription in Linear A on all 12 of its vertical sides. In shape, it resembles KN Za 10 and PK Za 8 (P. Muhly 1981, type A.V).

The inscription has not yet been published.
