Commentary

ARKH 2 .2–3 A-SI-DA-TO-I 12, intact, the largest share in the must list headed SI-DA-TE (GORILA III 7). ʾa-š(i)-da-dō-ī: SI-DA as syllabic Aš₂-da-di, TO the ō of Hebrew ʾAšdôd with T for d as in TA-DI dādī, -I the gentilic -ī as in KA-NA-NI-TI kanaʿanītī. Ugarit lists men by their town as PN aḏddy (KTU 4.635). The town is Tel Ashdod (RGTC 12/2, 3); Naʾaman 1997 places Ugaritic aḏdd at Enkomi on Cyprus (apud RGTC 12/2, 3).
