Abstract

Abstract This new study of two bilingual inscriptions from Tamassos (ICS 265; ICS 215) provides information on the political status of this Cypriot city-state in the fourth century BC. In these years, Tamassos had remained independent, before king Pasikypros sold it to Pummayaton king of Kition (Duris, FGrH (BNJ) 76 F 4). Language and content of the bilingual texts are analysed and a few changes are made as compared to the previous editions. The inscriptions’ dating formulas with the name of king Milkyaton, king of Kition, provide evidence of the presence of Kitians in Tamassos already in the decades before the sale. Although Tamassos was landlocked and did not have a harbour, it may have entered into trade agreements with Kition in order to use its port to export copper productions. This may have laid the foundations for the future sale.
出售塞浦路斯城市王国。在两个塔玛西亚双语铭文中寻找政治含义
摘要对塔马索斯(ICS 265;ICS 215)提供了这个塞浦路斯城邦在公元前4世纪的政治地位的信息。在这些年中,Tamassos一直保持独立,直到国王Pasikypros将其出售给Kition国王Pummayaton (Duris, FGrH (BNJ) 76 F 4)。对双语文本的语言和内容进行了分析,并与以前的版本相比进行了一些更改。铭文的年代公式上写着基蒂昂国王米尔基顿的名字,这证明了基蒂昂人早在拍卖前几十年就已经在塔马索斯存在了。虽然塔马索斯地处内陆,没有港口,但它可能与基蒂翁签订了贸易协定,以便利用其港口出口铜产品。这可能为未来的出售奠定了基础。
