This is a typical example of common prehistory of Greek and Phrygian. This cannot be a greek borowing since it corresponds the mycenaean version of the Greek Αναξ, while in Phrygian it is attested in Palaeo-Phrygian inscriptions. ΑΤΕΣ : ΑΡΚΙΑΕFΑΙΣ : ΑΚΕΝΑΝΟΓΑFΟΣ : ΜΙΔΑΙ : ΛΑFΑΓΤΑΕΙ : FΑΝΑΚΤΕΙ : ΕΔΑΕΣ |
