NOTE

1. Wiener [2013] 162 says in full: "Minoan administrative documents and seal impressions of the MM III period have been found at Mikro Vouni on the island of Samothrace in the northern aegean, including three examples of the archetypal Knossian palatial administrative device, the roundel, one with the impressions of different seals along the rim, some inscribed with signs in the Minoan hieroglyphic script. On one roundel, two of six original impressions had been erased by placing lumps of clay over them, together with the roundels were Minoan seal impressions, one made by a metal - perhaps gold - ring, on two noduli, or multiple-faced cones, and on two single-faced cones ... ."
