Abstract
The inscription F. Delph. III, I, n o 547 was discovered in Delphi a few meters east of the thesaurus of Sikyonion. The editor of the inscription, Emile Bourguet, determined the age of the inscription in the Late Antiquity period (138-161 AD). The inscription is interesting in connection with the study of nomenclature and historical origins of the pythkiauli , the folk wind instrument of Cyprus. Through ethnomusicological approach, we found information which illuminate unknown aspects of the topic. Following a close study of all the available etymologies in academia, we cross-checked the elements drawn from factual material of the research with the elements from historical sources and as a result, we reached the most convincing and most correct interpretation of the instrument’s nomenclature.
