Evidence for purple can be found not only in the attested po-pu-reuman ingenuity has even learned to mingle with the productions of the earth.” The formulas for these associated dyes and pigments are primarily evident in the Ge series at Mycenae. I propose, instead, that ko-ri-ja-do-no is a ‘convoluted’ reference to κρῑηδόν (krīêdon) as it pertains, generally, to shellfish and, particularly, to the elusive Mycenaean production of Tyrian purple and associated dyes.
Due to this poor phonetic approximation, a fresh proposal is overdue.
In 1956, Ventris and Chadwick proposed that coriander may be derived from ko-ri-ja¬-do-no (koria(n)dnon), thought to be employed in the production of unguents.
