Proposed meanings

Each is one source’s proposal. A meaning has to hold on every text listed below.

  • widely acceptedDikte (place name)— conventional

    What this rests on. Follows the opening element of the formula, and resembles Greek Δίκτη, the Cretan mountain. The identification rests on that resemblance plus position; the Palaikastro forms A-DI-KI-TE(-TE) come from the Dikte region.

  • speculative(the dedicant's name)— Salgarella 2025

    What this rests on. Stands in the subject slot of the formula (Table 6, p. 46), where the shorter version on PS Za 2 has a different word.

    Role: subject. Contradicts the reading as the place name Dikte.

    Proposed on IO Za 2.

  • speculativefrom Dikte— Schümann 2026, not peer-reviewed

    The Dikte identification itself is older and widely discussed; the ablative sense 'from' is this source's.

    Proposed on IO Za 2.
