Asiatique. 1867, II, p. 121 onwards: "La dernière inscription phénicienne que nous ayons rapportée de Chypre se trouve dans un petit village, nommé Larnax Lapithou, situé au sud-ouest des ruines de l'ancienne ville de Lapithos. Ce village est bâti sur le versant sud de la chaîne de montagnes qui borde la côte septentrionale. Un peu audessus des dernières maisons, on voit un grand agger conique de pierres, en partie naturel, en partie artificiel, qui peut avoir 6 mètres de haut et 40 mètres de circonférence à la base. Au pied du tumulus, sur le rocher qui lui sert de noyau , on lit inscription bilingue précédente."

This is perhaps the only known example of a purely imageless cultus attested by a bilingual inscription, and practised in the open air on a mountain.
