Philip C. Schmitz, Archaic Greek Names in a Neo-Assyrian Cuneiform
Tablet from Tarsus
via Agade
Charles, you may have some real fringe interests. That means a lot coming from me!
Guilty as charged. But come on, how can’t get excited about archaic Greek in Neo-Assyrian texts? Now that is cool stuff.
Charles is right – Hellenosemitica is really cool. But this one is tame. Can anybody figure out why the bevelled rim bowl article – which is really good, actually – is in JCS? Barely any cuneiform to be found in it.
Really? I’ve always wondered where Madga is.
Charles,
I actually do concur that Schmitz’ article sounds quite fine.
