Proposed translation
]SI[ ]SI-ZA-NE-*310, Dādu-Mīnō, 'Beloved of Minos', who stands, he is fire, ʾAwpiʿ, 'he shone forth': she serves; give him drink! The pin: fix it, you have fastened it. She will remember, by that with which one curls the hair.
Remarks
The longest multi-word inscription on metal in Linear A: nine words in two lines incised along the shaft of a silver hair pin, eight of them found nowhere else. Line 1 begins on the hook, whose bend is corroded: ]SI[ stands alone on the hook arm, about three signs are lost after it, and the SI of ]SI-ZA-NE-*310 survives as a trace. KE in the last word is doubtful, and line 2 breaks off after it. The original has a row of crocus blossoms on the reverse, which the stand-in leaves out; its length and the curve of its hook are not taken from the original. Generated stand-in, not a scan: the shape follows the published description, the sign layout is approximate.
