Summary
The Epilogue briefly summarizes the results reached in the preceding chapters; highlights the principal six hypotheses of Part I, and the five principal hypotheses of Part II; points out that these hypotheses, being data-supported, should be taken into account in all future work on the undeciphered Aegean scripts, at least until such time as we have data-supported reasons for doing otherwise; but nevertheless exhorts the reader for a final time to regard these hypotheses as what they are: hypotheses, not supposed proof of what they hypothesize.
