Santu Iacci
or Santuiacci
==================
This is the
finding place of an trilingue (greek-latin-punic) = CIS I 143 = KAI 166.
Trilingues are very rare.
Santu Iacci
is located near San Nicolo Gerei in the southeast quarter of Sardinia .
Date: 1st half of the 2nd century BC.
Punic text:
To the
lord, to Ešmoen m’rḥ, this altar of brons with a weight of 100 pounds, that was
dedicated by ’klyn (Cleon), servant? or member of the corporation? Of ḥsgm, who
are near the salt-pan? He has heard his voice, he has cured him: in the year of
the suffetes Himilkat and Abdešmoen, son of Himilk.
The greek
and latin texts are slightly different. In the punic text the word ḥsgm forms a
problem. No idea what it means. Even the Italian enclosed text (Amadasi) has no
solution. Furthermore the translations “member of the corporation’ and ‘salt-pan”
are not certain.
