elymian

Any member of a people who inhabited western Sicily during the Bronze Age and Classical antiquity.

In 580 the Greeks attacked the Carthaginians and Elymians.

To the Elymians and the Phoenicians the change of names could have signified a welcome return to the older name of the colony (Makara = "Herakleia") before the Selinuntines seized it and named it "Minoa".

Of or pertaining to the Elymian people or their society, language, etc.

The exact relations which existed between Carthage and the Elymian towns, those again which existed between the two Elymian towns themselves, are nowhere clearly described.

An extinct, undeciphered and unclassified language spoken by the Elymians.

The chance find of a dump at Segesta has yielded more Elymian inscriptions (mostly single words, inscribed in Greek letters on potsherds) than all other sites combined.
