ssepse-

This lexeme is attested once 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).

gen. pl.

ssepsẽ

TL 55.8 (Antiphellos)

The grammatical assignment follows Shevoroshkin 2002c:407 and Schürr 2005a:151 (differently, DLL:129 “acc. sg.”), because a gen. pl. dependent on the following qirzã acc. sg. seems more likely, although two nouns in apposition cannot be entirely excluded. Contra Gehrisch 2018a:111 “acc. sg. c. of a dem. pr.”; cf. below.

[D.S.]

The word ssepsẽ seems to depend on qirzã, which represents a kind of property or sanctuary. The word ssepsẽ has rightly been analyzed as a compound made of sse and psse- (Schürr 2005a:151, similarly Shevoroshkin 2002c:407). The meaning of the compound thus depends on the meaning of each of its members, for which see Lyc. sese(/i)- and psse-.
