=== Psychro === Some publications also list the [[Psychro]] or Epioi inscription as Eteocretan,<ref>Spyridon Marinatos, "Γραμμάτων διδασκάλια", in ''Minoica: Festschrift zum 80. Geburstag von Johannes Sundwall'', Berlin 1958, p. 227.</ref><ref>Raymond A. Brown, "The Eteocretan Inscription from Psychro," in ''Kadmos'', vol. 17, issue 1 (1978), p. 43 ff.</ref><ref>Y. Duhoux, ''op. cit.'', pp. 87–111.</ref> but some scholars deem it to be a modern forgery.<ref>Charalambos B. Kritzas, ''The "Bilingual" inscription from Psychro (Crete). A coup de grâce'', in R. Gigli (ed.), ''Μεγάλαι Νῆσοι. Studi dedicati a Giovanni Rizza per il suo ottantesimo compleanno'', vol. 1. Catania 2004 [in fact, published in May 2006], pp. 255–261.</ref> They base their assessment on the fact that the inscription has five words, which bear no obvious resemblance to the language of the Dreros and Praisos inscriptions, apparently written in the Ionic alphabet of the third century BC, with the addition of three symbols which resemble the Linear A script of more than a millennium earlier. Their reasoning has since been challenged as unsubstantiated.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/312038989|title=The Eteocretan Inscription from Psychro (Crete) is Genuine|accessdate=30 March 2023}}</ref>
