Back in 2013, Jerker Blomqvist took the time to list the words which even the most Eurocentric linguists agree were borrowed from a Semitic language into Mycenean or Classical Greek. Since not everyone reads Greek, I have his list with a transliteration and definition on my blog.

(Most linguists would add a dozen or two other words, but not necessarily the same ones as the next linguist; these are the words which three recent book from different schools of thought agree on).
