Ποινικαστά; and Ττοινικάζευ: BM 1969. 4–2. 1, a new archaic inscription from Crete

Abstract: The Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities of the British Museum has recently acquired a semicircular bronze plate resembling in form the 'mitra' or abdominal guard worn by Greek warriors, and inscribed on both sides in an archaic Cretan script (Registration No. BM 1969. 4 2 . 1: Figs. 1, 2; Pis. I, II). Our warmest thanks are due to the Trustees of the British Museum for permission to publish this text, and especially to D. E. L. Haynes, Keeper of the Department of Greek and Roman Antiquities, for his courtesy in first informing us of the bronze, making it available for study, and giving us every assistance when working on it. At first a threefold study was envisaged, the third contributor being Professor A. E. Raubitschek of Stanford University, since he was already working on the publication of the inscribed Cretan armour now in the Fogg Museum, Harvard University; but in the event it proved more practicable for the two of us to whom the bronze was easily accessible to study it at the British Museum and to send a transcript, with our provisional translation and commentary, to Professor Raubitschek at Stanford. With characteristic generosity he has waived his right to appear here as a collaborator, though he has kindly added a note (pp. 155—156) and we have greatly profited from discussion with him by letter. We have appended his initials at specific points where his comments have saved us from error. His own conclusions on the document as a whole will be included in the publication of the material in the

Un lion de bronze de provenance egyptienne avec inscription carienne

Abstract: On sait que l'Egypte a fourni une petite serie de statuettes en bronze, portant des inscriptions en ecriture carienne, lesquelles sont accompagnees parfois d'une breve legende hieroglyphique. Une nouveUe piece, representant un Hon debout sur un socle, et provenant d'Egypte, mais d'une localite inconnue, est apparue au printemps 1975 sur le marche des antiquites; eile se trouve aujourd'hui a Paris, dans une collection privee. Une publication detaillee de cet objet, qui pose d'interessants problemes pour Thistoire de Part, en raison du melange des styles, sera donnee ulterieurement. Mais, en attendant, je voudrais faire connaitre ici Finscription carienne qui figure sur le socle. La Statuette, dont on reproduit le cöte droit (pl. I), a une hauteur maximale d'environ 14 cm.; le socle est long de 16,6 cm., large de 4,3 cm. et haut de 2,4 cm. L'inscription est disposee tres regulierement, de droite ä gauche, en partant de la face laterale droite, sur trois cötes seulement (la face anterieure est anepigraphe); les lettres, bien gravees, mesurent de 5 ä 8 mm. Apres nettoyage, le texte est apparu comme parfaitement lisible, avec trente et une lettres et deux marques de Separation (deux points superposes), comme le montre notre dessin (pl. II). Dans le nouveau Systeme de transcription que j'utilise actuellement (tableau, pl. ), qui comprend un nombre reduit de lettres pour les signes d'interpretation plus ou moins plausible, mais des chiffres pour les signes difficiles, on obtient le texte suivant:
