Draft of Sayce, A. H. "The Libraries of David and Solomon", Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain & Ireland 63 (4), p. 783-790.

Sayce writes about archaeological discoveries on the Phoenician coast, to the north of Latakia, featuring texts in at least five different languages in cuneiform script (Babylonian, Sumerian, Mitannian, and Canaanite). He tracks the earliest Phoenician and cuneiform script, relating this to biblical texts and the library of David and Solomon.
