Abstract
The lexeme 416-wa/i-ní -, occurring in Bronze Age Luvian hieroglyphic inscriptions, was previously interpreted as a royal title. The goal of this paper is to demonstrate that it rather represents a common noun ‘enemy (force)’. The new hypothesis entails a syntactic reinterpretation of a number of Luvian sentences and allows one to arrive for the first time at a cohesive understanding of the SÜDBURG inscription. On the phonetic level, Bronze Age Luvian * aliwanni - ‘alien’ can be now compared with the independently established Iron Age Luvian * alunni - ‘enemy’.

Abstract
The paper discusses the phonetic value of the Hieroglyphic Luwian sign *448. Based on the new reading, a more precise form of the aulic title s(u)wanis can be obtained. It will be argued for that this title is hidden behind the sign sequence *109.285.

Abstract
It has long been acknowledged that the administrations of the ancient Near East provide important comparanda when considering the workings of the Mycenaean bureaucracy. This paper seeks to establish some of the ways in which such comparisons may continue to be useful in the study of the Mycenaean world. One particular point of interest is the type of documentation generated by the central administration within a redistributive economy. In certain Near Eastern systems, ‘bilateral’ documentation was used to provide legal or quasi-legal proof of the fulfilment of liabilities to the palace. However, it is here argued that there is no evidence for the employment of such records in the Linear B archives.

Abstract
The paper tackles the problem of the phonetic situation of the aspiration in Mycenaean Greek. The relevant evidence is gathered showing that the phoneme is well preserved, but it begins to be lost in intervocalic position.

Abstract
Zusammenfassung Alle lykischen Belege für die Mindis werden nach Formeln geordnet angeführt, für sich ausgewertet und mit den auf zwei reduzierten griechischen Belegen verglichen. In der Hauptsache geht es um eine an die Mindis entrichtete oder zu entrichtende Gebühr, wie bei dem einen griechischen Beleg von Telmessos. Eine Mitwirkung bei Bestattungen darf aus den lykischen Inschriften nicht herausgelesen werden, und für ihre Aufgaben ist die griechische Inschrift des ‚Ionischen Grabes‘ in Kyaneai am aufschlußreichsten: Vorgeschrieben ist da die Beiziehung bei Graböffnungen in beratender Funktion. Im Fall der Zuwiderhandlung wird die Mindis zur Verhinderung und Bestrafung ermächtigt. Letzteres spiegelt sich auch in lykischen Strafformeln wider, in denen die „Eide“ oder Organe der Mindis strafen sollen. Der von der Mindis geleistete Eid wird aber auch öfters in Gebührenformeln genannt. Bei dem Verb ala-ha- , das nur in TL 11 auf die Mindis bezogen wird, sonst aber eine untersagte Handlung bezeichnet, wird die schon 1923 von Arkwright geäußerte Ansicht bekräftigt, daß es συνχωϱῆσαι entspricht. Funktionäre der Mindis müssen die awahãi in der neuen Inschrift N 334 von Tlos sein, aber auch die in TL 39 (Xanthos), TL 89 und 90 (Myra) belegten tijãi , deren Aufgabe Verhinderung und Bestrafung unberechtigter Beisetzungen ist. Insgesamt ergibt sich, daß die Mindis nicht mehr und nicht weniger als eine Nekropolenverwaltung gewesen sein dürfte.

Abstract
During the 2007 archaeological campaign at the sanctuary of Labraunda (Turkey), a ring-foot of an Attic black-gloss bowl was discovered in Burgaz Kale, one of the five fortifications surrounding the sanctuary. The sherd is dated to the second quarter of the 4th century B.C. and bears on its bottom side a graffito written with five Carian letters. It reads bziom , a personal name, unknown in Carian onomastics. It is suggested that the letters belong to a group of alphabets from the Sinuri-Stratonikeia-Euromos area. The graffito has been named C.La 1, thus being the first real Carian text discovered in Labraunda.

Abstract
The paper reviews the investigations on the Edonian coins made so far and proposes new interpretations of the linguistic features of their legend texts in the light of the achievements of Greek dialectology and recently discovered Thracian texts. Its most important aim is to point out the commonness of languages and writing practices on the Thracian coast of the Aegean Sea in the sixth–fifth centuries B.C.
