Paleoglot: Translating a new Lemnian inscription

Glen Gordon: “We arrive at a provisional translation of ‘[Surum] has been slain for Axulos Hektaion.’ I presume here that the name of the recipient in question is Greek, a conclusion that I doubt would be objectionable considering its context on an Aegean island.”
Nice...but it’s all Greek to me!
Quite sweet, the bottom graphic is a sarcophagus lid showing a bas-relief of the married couple.
That’s what I was referring to...is that of the same time period?

Yeah, it’s similar to what the Etruscans did with their burials, and even their cremations.
So did the Etruscans come the western Anatolia region, or did the Etruscans and the Lemnosians share an earlier origin from somewhere else?

Unique book goes on displayThe world's oldest multiple-page book - in the lost Etruscan language - has gone on display in Bulgaria's National History Museum in Sofia. It contains six bound sheets of 24 carat gold, with illustrations of a horse-rider, a mermaid, a harp and soldiers. The small manuscript, which is more than two-and-a-half millennia old, was discovered 60 years ago in a tomb uncovered during digging for a canal along the Strouma river in south-western Bulgaria... There are around 30 similar pages known in the world, Ms Penkova said, "but they are not linked together in a book".

The surviving tomb-wall painting has scenes of that kind; also they left a lot of terracotta sculpture in their burials.
