Although a linguistic and epigraphic approach is the core of the book, it covers all major topics of research on Phrygian: the historical and archaeological contexts in which the Phrygian texts were found, a comprehensive grammar with diachronic and comparative remarks, an overview of the linguistic contacts attested for Phrygian, a discussion about its position within the Indo-European language family, a complete lexicon and index of the Phrygian inscriptions, a study of the Phrygian glosses and a complete, critical catalogue of the Phrygian inscriptions with new readings and interpretations.

Notably, this identification provides a new instance of the much-debated Phrygian letter no. 22.

Nine of them show the first coin legend in Phrygian identified so far: iman, a personal name. After the analysis of their iconography and legend, a location of the mint in Phrygia during the 5 th or 4 th century BC is suggested.

Particular focus is placed on the possible interactions between Greek and the Anatolian languages in the use of genitive patronymics with or without a noun for ‘son’ or ‘daughter’ (following prior studies by Merlin and Pisaniello 2019 and Rutherford 2002) and on the claim of a Lydian origin for Greek patronymics in -ίδας / -ίδης (Dardano 2011), for which an internal Greek development is accepted after the inclusion of relevant data from Phrygian. All in all, very few local interactions are sustained as being valid.

Research paper thumbnail of The Neo-Assyrian word muškinnu

The Neo-Assyrian word muškinnu-The unusual noun muškinnu is attested exclusively in two lexical t... more The Neo-Assyrian word muškinnu-The unusual noun muškinnu is attested exclusively in two lexical texts-both found in Nineveh and dating to the Neo-Assyrian period-as muš-kin₃-nu (K 04400+: r i 23') and muš-tin-nu (K 08285+: i' 1'). This word is doubtfully suggested to mean 'belt' (see, e.g., AHw. or CDA s.u.; more cautiously CAD 'part of a ḫindu-bag') because both lexical texts list clothing, garments, bands, belts, bags, etc. Morphologically, muškinnu is a derivative with-inn(um), an affix usually attached to foreign words (see von Soden 1952[1995], 90 § 58 b, with references). Consequently, muškinnu may derive from mušku. Then, it is difficult not to consider muškinnu as derived from the demonym Mušku, reused in Neo-Assyrian times for the Phrygians (see Radner 2013; likely also in Hieroglyphic Luwian Muska-, KARKAMIŠ A6 §6). If this identification is right, muškinnu very likely means 'fibula' rather than 'belt'. Indeed, the Phrygians were the firsts to produce bronze fibulae in Anatolia in the second half of the 8th century BC and it is clear that this Phrygian product spread beyond the Phrygian lands: in the West, "Phrygian fibulae were copied by East Greeks and apparently by Lydians" (Muscarella 1967, 58) and, in the East, Warpalawas, the king of Tabal, is depicted as wearing one of these fibulae in the İvriz relief (Mellink 1979, 252; see also van Dongen 2014, 702). Note also that another Neo-Assyrian tablet from Nineveh attests Muški (scil. Phrygian) products related to clothing in Assyria: 2 TÚG.KI.TA-ḫal-lu-pat mu-us-ki | m ab-di-mil-ki LÚ-GAL-ka-ṣir '2 Muški reinforced lower garments-Abdi-milki, the chief tailor' (SAA 07 126, 4-5).

After some remarks on the segmentation, the verb πεννιτι is identified as the Phrygian outcome of PIE verbal root *pent- and ομνισιτου, along with its related Phrygian forms, as going back to PIE *h₃emh₃-. It also argues in favour of Lubotsky's identification of Phrygian κορο-as a cognate of Greek κόρος 'boy' and κόρη 'girl' with some remarks on its inflection.

After an overview of the multilingual epigraphy of Daskyleion during the Achaemenid period, this paper focuses on the closing formula shared by the Aramaic KAI 318 and the Old Phrygian B-07 epitaphs, which consists of a warning not to harm the funerary monument. Comparison of the two inscriptions sheds light on the cryptic Old Phrygian B-07, the sole Old Phrygian epitaph known. As a result, the paper provides new Phrygian forms, like the possible first-person singular umno=tan, ‘I adjure you’, and a new occurrence of the Phrygian god Ti-, ‘Zeus’, together with a second possible occurrence of Devos, ‘God’, equated to Bel and Nabu of the Aramaic inscription.

The relatively large number of features shared with Greek is consistent with prior views about the close relation between the two languages, which may have formed a common proto-language. The relations proposed with certain other languages, such as Armenian, are not so strong despite sharing some features.

The Greek renderings go back to an original Phrygian name *Gordiyas, whose ending can be equated with the New Phrygian ethnic Πουντας (48). Luwian Kurtis and Neo-Assyrian Gurdîs point to a i-stem variant *Gordis arising after the Luwian influence on Phrygian.

Although Zgusta included in his survey of the Anatolian toponyms (KON 661 § 1440) the ethnic Ψερκιοκωμήτης, attested in a list of the Ξένοι Τεκμορεῖοι from Pisidia (SERP 319,2), a second occurrence from Egypt (I.Syr. 76) shows that it may be identified with Pselchis, a city in Nubia. Consequently, any possible relation with Old Phrygian words in W‐02 and Dd‐101 must be excluded.

Furthermore, through a new reading of the last lines of the recently discovered New Phrygian inscription from Nacoleia, where the accusative μεκαν can be read in agreement with the theonym Τιαν, a new interpretation of the apodosis of the New Phrygian inscription 25 is given. Finally, a comparison of the Phrygian and the Greek forms reveals a common innovation in the presence of the endings in the masculine nom. sg. despite the lack of the λο-suffix in the Phrygian inflection of this word.

Although they share a similar context, their contents are diverse: they contain religious texts (the rare Roman god Summanus, as well as some Christian formulae), an epitaph (to Honorius), three graffiti with Vespasianus and some personal name (Iasidur, Tasidur, Iucuta, Iaso, Iaguren) suggested to have a North-African origin, more concretely Paleo-Amazigh.

[CAT] Aquest article recull un total de vint-i-dues inscripcions breus d'època romana procedents d'onze hipogeus d'arreu de l'illa de Menorca, algunes de les quals romanien inèdites. El conjunt, tot i compartir suport, és divers pel que fa als continguts. Entre d'altres, hi ha mostres de religiositat (paganes, com és el cas del teònim romà Summanus, i cristianes), un epitafi (dedicat a Honorius), tres mencions a Vespasià i una sèrie d'antropònims insòlits (Iasidur, Tasidur, Iucuta, Iaso, Iaguren) per als quals es proposa un origen nord-africà i més concretament paleoamazic.

La primera és un petit fragment d'inscripció monumental llatina d'èpo-ca imperial trobada a Binicalaf. El segon es tracta d'una téssera documentada a Mallorca i amb una disputada inscripció ibèrica o, més probablement, llatina. Finalment, es presenta un segell amfòric originari d'Apúlia amb l'antropònim grec Ἀγάθων en genitiu i que complementa un altre testimoni trobat a la ciutat de València (IGEP 244.6). Abstract: The present paper, following the former one, presents three ancient inscriptions from Minorca. The first one is a little fragment of a monumental Latin inscription dated to the Roman Imperial Age and found in Binicalaf. The second one is a tessera previously documented in Mallorca which presents a very dubious Iberian inscription or, more likely, a Latin one. Finally, an amphora with stamp bearing the Greek name Ἀγάθων in the genitive is analysed taking into account another parallel found in Valencia (IGEP 244.6) and their origin is suggested to be Apulian.

Aquest article pretén donar compte de l’origen dels nesònims Columba i Nura per a Mallorca i Menorca, respectivament, documentats únicament per l’Itinerarium Maritimum (Wess. 511, 3 - 512, 1). Després d’examinar-los per separat i constatar la presència de sengles paral·lels sards, es conclou que en ambdós casos es tracta d’un error relacionat amb les fonts de l’obra de natura diferent a aquesta i que en realitat són els mateixos topònims sards mal ubicats.

[ENG]
The aim of the present papers is to identify the origin of the nesonyms Columba and Nura given to Mallorca and Minorca, correspondingly, only by the Itinerarium Maritimum (Wess. 511, 3 - 512, 1). According to the approach assumed here, they are indeed Sardinian toponyms misplaced from this island, a mistake due to the kind of sources used by this Itinerarium.
