8.7. In cell B21 the following is imprinted:
a) the name of the Colchian deity XG [pa-tə], that, according to Sir A. Evans (1952, II, 236) and J. Chadwick (1989, 70), corresponds, as I suppose, to Mycenaean Linear B units pa-ti and a-pa-i-ti-jo or to Greek deity () and Egyptian deity GVÔo [pt}] – Phtah, Phat, the God of Fire (Herodotus 1890, 2005, II, 2, 3, 99, 101, 108, 110, 112, 121, 136, 141, 142, 147, 151, 153, 176, III, 37; Kvashilava 2006, 344; 2007, 224, 257);
b) the Colchian toponym *patə (*a>o: poti), that according to H. Vogt, also to Th. V. Gamkrelidze, G. Machavariani (1965, 1491), R. Gordeziani (1971, 184; 1999, 100), S. Janashia (1988, 272-273) and O. Lortkipanidze (1986, 104), is in regular correspondence to Greek . I presume that the toponym *pati is connected to pa-i-to/pa-i-ti-jo/pa-i-ti-ja – could be *¬>() mentioned in some of the Linear A and Linear B texts (Kvashilava 2006, 344; 2007, 224, 257-258; Gordeziani 2007, 306).
