  1. ZA Wc 2A-TI-KA A-DU-KO-[MI]

Commentary

ZA Wc 2, a Zakros roundel: .1 A-TI-KA-A, .2 DỤ-KO-⟦MI⟧, the signs of .1 evenly spaced; GORILA divides A-TI-KA · A-DU-KO-⟦MI⟧ (GORILA II 98). Perna and Anastasiadou, after autopsy, read the last sign as the numeral 2, matching the two seal impressions on the rim (CMS II,7 no. 25; Anastasiadou 2026, 37–39). Ugaritic ʿtq ‘durable’, syllabic at-qá (DULAT 189); Safaitic personal name ʿtq (Harding 1971, 405). Linear B a-ti-ka is a man at Knossos (KN V 831.4; DMic I 119). One attestation. See *306-TI-KA-A-RE.
