On the Epichoric Inscription from Perge

Recai Tekolu*

Professor G. Neumann, whose great memory I will always remember, kindled in me the enthusiasm to study in the field of ancient Anatolian languages with his papers. One of his last works
titled Eine epichorische Inschrift was published in Die Akropolis von Perge 1. Survey und Sondagen
1994-1997 edited by H. Abbasolu and W. Martini in 2005. The fragmentary inscription that he
treated in this article was on the bottom of a crater found on the acropolis of Perge (inv.no. K
14.95.13). It gave him the opportunity to discuss an epichoric script from Perge dating back to
the sixth century B.C. Neumann read the fragmentary inscription as dai, seeing a resemblance
with the alphabetic signs of the Sidetian inscriptions. Even though he stated that there was more
than a gap of 200 hundred years between the archaeological date of this material and the early
appearance of the Sidetian signs on the coins of the fourth century B.C., he thought that a reading of the local script was possible on the basis of a comparison with the Sidetian. According to
his analysis the reading may concern a personal name like * or , abbreviated forms
of the Greek . It could appear in the form of dai in the Sidetian language.
On the occasion of celebrating the 65th birthday of carissimus magister H. Abbasolu, I am
pleased to present a new evaluation of this epichoric inscription from Perge. My results are as
follows:
1) A dating in the early sixth century B.C. is likely as several testimonies of epigraphic basis with
local scripts of fragmentary nature and of unknown origin like those in Sardis, Aphrodisias,
and others from Asia Minor also belong to the same time.
2) The script direction is sinistrorse; at least the Signs 2, 3 and 4 here give the impression that
were they cut into the surface from left to right.
3) The character of the script seems to be alphabetic as observed by Neumann.
4) Five signs can be counted in the inscription (fig. 1). As the four signs in Neumanns suggestion of reading can be really interpreted as dai when compared with the Sidetian signs, I will
not follow the same method, mainly because the Sign 5 was not attested among the Sidetian
signs. I will focus mainly on the interpretation of this sign.
Sign 1: not considered as a sign by Neumann.
Sign 2: as seen by Neumann.
Sign 3: as seen by Neumann.
Sign 4: seems to be rho reversed.

Sign 5: Neumann made a sketch like the transliteration of the Sidetian , as he thought that
the sign was varied in the form of Qoph known only in the Canaanite script on seals and precious small stones1. In fact it may belong to the western tradition in the Aegean area instead
of the Semitic. It shares a similarity in form with a certain sign known from some stamps and
graffiti from Sardis2 and in the so-called Psychro inscription from the island of Crete3.
The reading of a stamp on a fragmentary tile from Sardis (fig. 2) was suggested to be a ligature
writing of the word art, possibly an abbreviated form for a personal or divine name in Artimu
or Artima in Lydian or the sign of a manufacturer4. Meanwhile, the fragment of a simple bowl
rim (fig. 3), datable to the late seventh early sixth century B.C., included a ligature of two
letters and could be read as ati?5.
The tree symbols of the Psychro Inscription are more problematic (fig. 4). Since its publication, the authenticity and bilingualism of the inscription have been a matter of dispute6. Many
of the scholars who dedicated papers on the decipherment of the inscription sought a certain
connection of the symbols with some contents of Linear A and B and hieroglyphic Cretan
scripts7. We shall not discuss here the Psychro Inscription, but express that the sign under
examination is completely the same with that in the Psychro Inscription. We can suppose that
the sign was in use as a symbol or as a letter in some way in western Anatolia and maybe also in
the Aegean area. I see no reason to think that it was derived from a Semitic qoph model.
5) A reading of the inscription can not be suggested as it will always be hypothetic.
6) It is the earliest sample of any written material known so far in Pamphylia. It precedes the Sidetian by 200 years and the Pamphylian Greek dialect nearly by 250 years, as pointed out by
Neumann. Was indeed any script model in practice in Pamphylia at this time? We cannot be
sure about this issue without additional examples of the script in the region. First of all, the use
of a certain and defined script in practice needs a consensus in the social, economic, and governmental administration, and the attestation is sufficiently frequent. It seems likely to me that
the inscription from Perge represents a single case. In other words here the script itself may be
an instrument of a vigorous and expert manufacturer / entrepreneur to define his products.
What could its language be? As we know from the epigraphic documents found in the region
of the Hellenistic and Roman periods, some Pamphylian cities spoke different languages which
were connected to both the Greek and Anatolian substrata. But it is observed that even in the
Late Roman Imperial period the Pamphylian region may furnish a new epigraphic testimony of
an unknown language origin. Discussions on pre-classical languages of Pamphylia are apt to be
limited to assumptions at the present time.
For the development and diffusion of the script in Asia Minor, the inscription of Perge like
the other graffiti datable to the sixth century B.C. and onwards may play a role to discuss the existence of the tendency towards the use of script among individuals and particularly kerameikoi
before any Semitic, Greek, or Persian influence.
