The Greco-Iberian lead’s plate of Sagunto (Valencia) has appeared almost 200 kilometres away from the rest of this set of writings centered in the provinces of Alicante and Murcia. In it we can find the sequences -aisi, -oisi, which are absent from all Iberian lexical repertoire. That is why, based on the evidence of the Aeolism in the lead letter of Ampurias (Emporion 1), it is highly probable that the natives adapted, in this particular case, a commercial treaty, their language both to the alphabet and to certain Phokaian Aeolic endings so that it could be read by the Greeks
