Abstract: In this article, the author offers an analysis of the longest Pisidian inscription Kesme 2 (S 2), recently published by Claude Brixhe and Mehmet Özsait. A segmentation of the scriptio continua is proposed by using a combinatory method. Some connections with the rest of Pisidian linguistic materials and also with other Luwic languages are suggested. However, the inscription continues to be a largely impenetrable text.

Keywords: Pisidian, Luwic dialects, Anatolian, Indo-European, Greek Epigraphy, Asia Minor
