Notes

  1. The ancient text reads 'Sidi', the nominative of which could be Sidis. It's possible that this represents the city of Sidon in Phoenicia. Or it could be one of the  Hellenic cities or towns with the later name 'Side'.

  2. Once again based on Tsikritsis kimo, after removing the rough breathing sound is imo or imou, while phonetically this ki often represents phonetically the rough breathing sounf in front of the vowel o. In other words kimo is actually omo/homo or in this case homou(Ὁμού).

  3. In the Phaistos disk, when the second syllable is evident from what the first hieroglyph depicts it is sometimes omitted. The name for city (Fάστυ) is one such case.

  4. By house, like “by Jove”. Parna or -parn is Hittite for 'house', 'premises', or 'home'. Taking an owth to your home instead of to a god.

  5. In Greek religion and mythology, Pan is the god of the wild, shepherds and flocks, nature of mountain wilds, hunting and rustic music, and companion of the nymphs.

  6. In Sumerian mythology, Nammu was a primeval goddess, corresponding to Tiamat in Babylonian mythology. Nammu was the Goddess sea that gave birth to heaven and earth and the first gods, representing the Apsu, the fresh water ocean that the Sumerians believed lay beneath the earth, the source of life-giving water and fertility in a country with almost no rainfall.
