"χάρτης" meaning in Ancient Greek

See χάρτης in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: /kʰár.tɛːs/, /ˈxar.tis/, /ˈxar.tis/, /kʰár.tɛːs/ (note: 5ᵗʰ BCE Attic), /ˈkʰar.te̝s/ (note: 1ˢᵗ CE Egyptian), /ˈxar.tis/ (note: 4ᵗʰ CE Koine), /ˈxar.tis/ (note: 10ᵗʰ CE Byzantine), /ˈxar.tis/ (note: 15ᵗʰ CE Constantinopolitan)
Etymology: According to Strong's Biblical concordance, from χαράσσω (kharássō, “I scratch, inscribe”), from Proto-Indo-European *ǵʰer- (“to scratch”) (compare Lithuanian žerti (“to scrape”)). Modern scholarship rejects this (Beekes, Chantraine) and considers the etymology unknown. An Egyptian derivation was supposed, without any convincing etymon found, because of the Egyptian origin of papyrus. Consistent with the Phoenician influence on Greece in the field of writing (the Greeks adopted the Phoenician alphabet), it has been suggested that χάρτης could derive from the Phoenician word 𐤇𐤓𐤈𐤉𐤕 (ḥrṭyt), interpreted as “something written”, cognate with Biblical Hebrew חֶרֶט (ḫereṭ, “stylus; style of writing”).

Modern scholarship rejects this (Beekes, Chantraine) and considers the etymology unknown. An Egyptian derivation was supposed, without any convincing etymon found, because of the Egyptian origin of papyrus. Consistent with the Phoenician influence on Greece in the field of writing (the Greeks adopted the Phoenician alphabet), it has been suggested that χάρτης could derive from the Phoenician word 𐤇𐤓𐤈𐤉𐤕 (ḥrṭyt), interpreted as “something written”, cognate with Biblical Hebrew חֶרֶט (ḫereṭ, “stylus; style of writing”).",
