Abstract


Rhodian ἐ̣σ̣[π]ράΤ̣εν is a ghost-form. The right reading should be ἐ̣σ̣[π]ρά̣Ζεν with an etymologically expected -Z- (cf. πέπρα̅γα, πρᾶγος, ἀπραγία). Erosion has effaced the lower bar of Τ̲ (archaic Z sign) in this inscription, making it appear to be a Τ. In Rhodian inscriptions of a more recent date, the local type πράζω, which can be compared to Cretan πράδδω (πράττω), has been replaced by the supradialectal secondary type πράσσω.
