# Review of P. M. Steele, A Linguistic History of Ancient Cyprus

Vassilis Petrakis, 2015.

**Eteocretan and Eteocypriot** Review0

## What it's used for here

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2015.01.24. Summarises Steele's 26-inscription Eteocypriot catalogue, the four bilinguals, the -o-ko-o- patronymic as the surest diagnostic, and her verdict that no secure linguistic link can be established; notes that Egetmeyer's Golgian proposal and Duhoux's Cypro-Minoan 1 link deserved more discussion. Open access. Source for the summary of Steele's conclusions.
