2 H. J. Treston (in Poine) recently argued to the existence of a pre-Achæan system of wergeld, with distinction between voluntary and involuntary homicide. Cf. now the beginning of Code Hittite : If anyone kills a man voluntarily (?) he gives four persons : for a slave two ; if involuntary the compensation is halved.
1 Bandar = (Pers. Arab.) harbour. Oppert supposed that it really was a (canal) harbour. It is worth remarking that a building which resembles it in shape is the “ U-shaped ” tell at Drehem (cf. Langdon, 106), which was almost certainly a depot for tribute and records.
