Note 321 — APPENDIX. ON THE INSCRIPTIONS FOUND AT HISSARLIK. By The Editor.

L. Dora Schmitz translation

The whorl on the left hand (the one discussed by Haug and Gomperz) is engraved from M. Burnouf’s more accurate drawing in our lithographed Plate LI., No. 496; the other is given at page 161; but they are repeated here (from Schliemann’s Atlas, Pl. 13, No. 432, Pl. 6, No. 208) in order to exhibit their identity. It is remarkable that these whorls, belonging to an age when writing was already known, are very coarse, both in material and work.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
