THE DOSSIER SA-RA-PE-DA OF PYLOS REVISITED

Abstract

!e purpose of this article is twofold. First, I intend to review and evaluate some hypotheses regarding the identi"cation and
status of the payers who appear in PY Un 718, especially e-ke-ra2-wo. Second, I will try to justify the reconstruction [a-ki-ti-]to
for PY Er 880.4 based on a comparison with other attestations of the term in the Na series from Pylos. In my opinion, this is
the most accurate reconstruction, even though the lacunae make any proposal subject to an ongoing discussion.
