Since the appearance of my article Tsade and Sampi in the preceding issue of this journal, a discovery highly important for the history of ‘Tsade’ has been made in the course of excavations at Ephesus by Mr. D. G. Hogarth, to whose kindness I owe the following information.On a silver plate found in the primitive stratum of the Artemision, below the Croesus temple, there is an inscription in which Τ occurs thrice, in the words τέΤαρες and τέΤαρες forming part of sentences in Ionic Greek.The position of the objects found in relation to the Croesus temple makes 550 B.C., the beginning of the reign of Croesus, the absolute terminus of date on the lower side: there is, I understand, little doubt that the inscription belongs to the latter part of the 7th century B.C.
