Now, as the Pelasgians in
mainland Greece appear to be ancestral to their kinsmen in
the north-Aegean region (and western Anatolia), it
seems
advisable to have a look at them first. An interesting tradition
in this respect is formed by the story of the Pelasgian
king of Argos,416 Akrisios, son of Abas and brother of
Proitos, who in fear of his grandson Perseus flees from his
hometown to Larisa in Thessaly under the rule of the likewise
Pelasgian king Teutamias.417 Here we encounter at
least one clearly Indo-European name, Teutamias, which is
based on the PIE stem *teuta:- society, folk,
people.418
The same root is also attested for the name of the leader of
the Thessalian Pelasgians in their journey to Crete, Teutamos,
referred to above,419 and that of the grandfather of
the Pelasgian leaders in the Trojan war, Teutamids,
probably a patronymic.420 It is particularly relevant to our
purposes to note that this root occurs in the New Phrygian
form teutous and in the Thracian mans name (= MN)
Tautomedes, etc.421 Furthermore, Abas is the heros eponym
of the Abantes, a Thracian tribe.422 Finally, Akrisios
and Proitos have closely related Phrygian counterparts in
the divine name Akrisias423 and the root of the magistracy
proitavos,424 respectively. The impression we gain from
these examples, is that Pelasgian, insofar as onomastics is
significant in this respect, may well be an Indo-European
language of Thraco-Phrygian type. Further instances can
be adduced to emphasize this point, like Adrastos,425 corresponding
to the Phrygian MN Adrastos,426 and
Arkas,427
related to the root of the Phrygian patronymic Arkiaevas.

The situation is different with the Pelasgians in western
Anatolia. Thus, it is reported by Strabo that at the time

of this onomastic element is emphasized by its presence in Linear
