xra-^(di)

1. xruwe/i-
2. xruwata-

This lexeme is found in the inscription of the inscribed pillar of Xanthos, dated contextually to shortly after the ascension of Artaxerxes II in 405-404 BCE and stylistically to around 400 BCE (Borchhardt & Eichner 1997-1999a:19f.) as well as in the poetical inscription engraved on the lion sarcophagus of Antiphellos, dated on stylistic grounds to the beginning of the 4^th century BCE (Zahle 1979a:318, Mühlbauer 2007a:91).

The attestation mluxxãti is rightly emended by Schürr 1997c:136 (Schürr 2005a:158f., Schürr 2018b:87) to mlu xr^!ãti based on the similar passage mlu xrau (TL 55.7).

[D.S.]

Schürr 1997c:136f. suggests for xra-^(di) the meaning ‘to offer’ based on the etymological link to Lyc. A xruwata- ‘(thank) offering’ and the fact that the verb often takes the noun mla- as its direct object, which denotes some kind of offering. His analysis is followed by Melchert (DLL:136), Gehrisch 2018a:108 and Sasseville 2021a:310f., whereas Shevoroshkin 2002c:407, 409 prefers the meaning ‘to keep, preserve’, which lacks any basis. Sasseville 2021d translates xra-^(di) in TL 44c.59 as ‘to offer (as compensation)’, since it refers to offerings for deities that have been wronged.
