A New Cretan Inscription

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 October 2013

Extract

At the edge of the excavations in the Lower Town at Knossos was found a fragment of a steatite libation table; it was considerably above the original ground level, and had probably been washed down from the Palace. Its sides must have measured about 10·4 cm., and the diameter of the hollow about 7·4; but as it is cut slightly irregularly it is impossible to give exact measurements. In shape it resembles those figured in B.S.A. ix. p. 41, Fig. 20 e, from Knossos, and vi. Plate XI, 2 from the Dictaean Cave, except that underneath it slopes away to the base rather less sharply than those examples.
