The etymology of σμάραγδος is traditionally related to the Semitic root *brq, ʻto shineʼ. However, this article sets out the idea that this etymology comes from a Semitic word related to the root *wrq, ʻto be greenʼ, which is, in turn, related to myc. pa-ra-ku-we and its derivatives.
The Myc. PN a-o-ri-me-ne may be interpreted as a possessive compound ʻwho has the μένος of the sword’, or as ʻwho has the μένος in the swordʼ, if the compounding vowel -i- was still functional as a locative marker, as Ruijgh proposed, or simply as the combination of the two elements [rage] and [sword].
Au Minoen Récent IIIA-B seulement les structures de stockage du site crétois de Haghia Triada, dans la plaine de la Messara, étaient compatibles avec la quantité GRA 10300[, qui est associée au toponyme linéaire B da-wo dans la tablette de Cnossos KN F(2) 852+. Ce fait soutient l’identification da-wo = Haghia Triada, qui à son tour permet d’établir un terminus post quem pour la rédaction de la tablette en question.
Dieser Aufsatz stellt die neuen Inschriften und Zeichen der Linear A-Schrift vor, die in Milet während der Grabungen am Athena-Tempel 1994 bis zu Tage gekommen sind. Diese Gruppe von Lokalen und importierten Inschriften bestätigt den Gebrauch der Schrift in Milet und die engen Kontakte zu Kreta sowie dem südostägäischen Raum.

Aside from limited studies on individual cemeteries or tomb types, analysis of Middle Minoan III funerary evidence has remained in the shadow. Reasons can be found in the dearth of archaeological remains, and it is useful to remember that most of the evidence for this period, both domestic and funerary, derived mainly from sites occupied in the following period (Late Minoan IA) and destroyed in Late Minoan IB.
