Minaeans in the Mediterranean. Reevaluating two Old South Arabian inscriptions from Delos
Two well‐known texts on altars from Delos ( RES 3952; M 349) dating to the period after 167 BC attest to contacts between the Aegean and Ancient Yemen. Reexamining these two important inscriptions, this article argues that both were set up by Minaeans. As for the altar bearing inscription M 349, we interpret the Greek inscriptions as later additions, the purpose of which was to inform readers who were unfamiliar with the Old South Arabian script …
A Minaean wab-priest in the reign of Ptolemy V Epiphanes
This article argues that the well-known Minaean inscription M 338 mentioning the 22nd year of a king Ptolemy should be dated in the reign of Ptolemy V Epiphanes, more precisely December 183 bc. Abstract Cet article soutient que l’inscription minéenne bien connue M 338 mentionnant la 22e année d’un roi Ptolémée devrait être datée du règne de Ptolémée V Épiphane, plus précisément de décembre 183 av.

Herod’s Oath of c. 6 BCE
This paper attempts to connect Josephus’ short reference to the oath taken to Herod the Great and Augustus with the so-called imperial oaths. In these oaths of loyalty to Augustus, which have been preserved on stone from various parts of the empire, the subjects are not only expected to pledge their allegiance to the supreme ruler in Rome, they are at least in one case also required to swear by Augustus. Furthermore, the oaths are taken at an alt…
Cassius Dio and the Foreigners
In his account of the introduction of the imperial cult in Asia Minor Cassius Dio implies that Octavian distinguished between Roman citizens and foreigners. While the Romans had to worship Julius Caesar and Dea Roma, the foreigners are said by Cassius Dio to have been entrusted with the worship of the ruler of the Romans. Cassius Dio’s description of these foreigners is somewhat nebulous, and this paper undertakes an investigation into their iden…
Maccabees 13 and the Missing Ambassador
This article traces the impact of Eupolemos, the Jewish historian and ambassador, on Jewish tradition. Eupolemos plays an important role in 1 and 2 Maccabees as one of the ambassadors sent to Rome by Judas Maccabaeus. Josephus elaborates the role of Eupolemos and associates him closer to Judas Maccabaeus than was the case with the accounts found in the first two books of the Maccabees. A much-overlooked Jewish work extant in Arabic, 5 Maccabees ,…
Identifying the Jewish Eupolemoi
The Jewish ambassador Eupolemos, who was sent on an embassy to the Romans by Judas Maccabee, is generally thought to be identical to his namesake, the Jewish historian mentioned by Clemens of Alexandria and Eusebios. This is due to the apparent rarity of his name, Eupolemos, among Jews. The present article undertakes an onomastic investigation into the name Eupolemos among the Jews in antiquity in order to discover whether an identification of th…
