The Home of the Keftiu

Extract

Mr. Wainwright's article on the Keftiu in the last number of J.H.S., coupled with the introduction to it in J.E.A., has brought back to my memory his article in the Liverpool Annals of Archaeology and Anthropology in 1913 which converted me to his view that the Keftiu of the Egyptian monuments were to be located somewhere in Cilicia. Maspero had suggested Northern Syria for their home; English scholars were inclined to place them in Krete. I am still on the side of Mr. Wainwright, but there are one or two statements in his articles which require to be supplemented, if not corrected.
