Summary

The paper presents a new interpretation of four symbols listed in CHIC among the klasmatograms and attested on seals as well, i.e. 302 “hook”, 307 “cross”, 308 “rectangle with prolonged side”, and 309 “spiral”. The possibility is discussed to place them, whenever they appear on seals, among the syllabograms and/or the logograms, while they maintain their fractional value on the incised documents of palatial administration. The fractional value may be a later and secondary use of the signs imported from the contemporary Linear A script. The primary use of the same symbols on seals perhaps characterizes individual administrative units.
