# KN Zb 40 A Linear A inscription carved again in 3D: pithoid jar from Knossos. - Object: Pithoid jar - Site: Knossos - Period: LM IB - Edition: GORILA IV ## Text 1. [A-PA-KI]() 2. [U-NA-A]() ## Proposed translation I weep—and here. ## Lexicon entries here - [A-PA-KI]() (ʾabkī): I weep (G prefix form, 1cs); rival ʾabakki (G present). Speculative. - [U-NA-A]() (wannā(h) / winnā(h)): and here, hither. Speculative. ## Remarks A pithoid jar from the Unexplored Mansion at Knossos, found in the LM II destruction deposit; the jar is LM I in type and the inscription probably LM IB (Popham 1976; Owens 1998–99). Two complete three-sign groups are incised on two lines, A-PA-KI over U-NA-A. The stand-in is an ovoid storage jar with a rolled rim, two horizontal lugs and a raised rope band, the text cut on the shoulder between the handles; its shape, decoration and size are its own. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate. ## 3D model Created at Plasma AI. Template model generated in the browser; texts after the project dossier and GORILA. Glyphs: Noto Sans Linear A (OFL), re-cut stroke by stroke. --- Page: https://linear-a.ai/inscriptions/tpl-kn-zb-40/ Licence: CC BY 4.0 for the translations and commentary; the corpus keeps its sources’ terms, SigLA’s records CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 Cite as: di Mino, Tom. 2026.
