Notes and Rectifications, Pamphylian Inscription

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  23 December 2013

Extract

In a paper ‘On some Pamphylian Inscriptions,’ published in the first volume of the Journal of Hellenic Studies, p. 242, my principal object was to establish the value of the symbols ψ and in those inscriptions. I was able to bring many analogies for the value assigned to ψ, viz. that of a palatal sibilant; but I could find no analogy outside of the Pamphylian inscriptions for the interpretation of as being in some cases equivalent to the English wu. At the time I did not notice that the Pamphylian explained as was suggested in my paper, afforded an exact parallel to a Naxian inscription, the interpretation given of which by Bentley was doubted by Kirchhoff, Griech. Alph. p. 73, solely because it was so singular. In the Naxian inscription the form [Τ]Ο ΑϜΥΤΟ is given by Bentley as equivalent in meaning and scansion to the Attic ταὐτοῦ; in other words ἀϜυτοῦ; is a dissyllable.
