46 LINEAR SCRIPT B: THE PALACE ARCHIVES OF KNOSSOS
1521, 1522, 1523. In some of these, the numerals following ^ or & are larger (597, 600-1, 609, 778-
9, 798-818, 822); on 599-602, 605 the 'human' signs are associated with other 'commodity'-signs. It
seems clear therefore that the human chattels are being transferred like other commodities, and in
variable numbers from each source of supply (p. 55).
In none of these lists is there any clear indication of grammatical structure—prepositions, verbs
&c.—at most, the group f^Yd which occurs six times on 875. 1-6 preceded by different name-
groups; but in the preamble or rubric on 1516. 12 [YAlYdOU *s followed by ^'.
It seems to result (1) that they are all lists of personal names, like the great majority of the B tablets •
(2) that though these names or parts of them recur in compounds or with one or more suffix signs,
these do not correspond with any position of the sign-group in the list, nor with any relation between
this and any other sign-group, such as would suggest a patronymic or a surname.

The Sign-groups on the Chariot Tablets and Wheel Tablets. The series of tablets 04. 30-49 is con-
cerned with chariot-wheels. Each tablet has a principal, followed by two or more subsidiaries.
Some names occur as principal on one or more tablets, and as subsidiary on others: as though there
was rotation of headship within a small team. Eleven others only occur once each.

On 30, 32, 34, 39, 46 ^®, and on 31 ®, is written after the numeral; and on 35 there are two
lines of subsidiaries in this position: (1) [jY • • (perhaps for ^YfH as on 29> 37); (2) A • • (^or Ai®
as on 30 and elsewhere, v. above).
The spelling of sign-groups on the chariot tablets is less accurate than usual, and the hand-writing
is more careless. [N.B. In this section AE transcripts are not always confirmed by his photographs.]
