The Grouping of Place-Names in the Knossos Tablets

The Grouping of Place-Names in the Knossos Tablets THE GROUPING OF PLACE-NAMES IN THE KNOSSOS TABLETS BY G. R.

The strongest connection of this kind is between two places originally listed as a pair; the best example of this practice of listing place-names in pairs is provided by the Dn series.

Abstract

THE GROUPING OF PLACE-NAMES IN THE KNOSSOS TABLETS BY G. R. HART The majority of the place-names mentioned in the Knossos tablets cannot be identified, and it is therefore impossible to locate them exactly. The purpose of this enquiry is to investigate the purely internal evidence provided by the tablets themselves for connections between these places, and to attempt an interpretation of this evidence in the light of those identifications which can confidently be made. The connections which can be established on the basis of internal evidence are of two kinds. A direct connection may be said to exist when two place-names occur on the same tablet. The strongest connection of this kind is between two places originally listed as a pair; the best example of this practice of listing place-names in pairs is provided by the Dn series. Next in importance is the juxtaposition of place-names in longer lists. The weakest sort of direct connection exists between place-names which occur in the same list but not adjacently. There are also indirect connections, that is to say, those which make use of a third term. This may be another place-name; it will be seen below how indirect connections
