Wilamowitz's Correspondence With British Colleagues
Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff (1848–1931) wrote surprisingly often to British colleagues. Usually it was a matter of a letter or two. The prolonged exchange with Gilbert Murray is the exception. More typical is the brief but important one with Sir James George Frazer. Extant evidence attests that he corresponded with some forty Englishmen and Scots. I omit Anglo-Irish: J.B. Bury, J.P. Mahaffy, L.C. Purser and the papyrologist, J.G. Smyly. Th…

Octavia: A Play Attributed to Seneca
Vita Aeschyli 9: Miscarriages in the Theatre of Dionysos
Anonymous, Vita Aeschyli 9 ( = TGF 3 T Al.30–32 Radt) preserves the following startling report concerning Aeschylus: Some say that at the performance of the Eumenides , by bringing on the chorus one by one, as he did, he terrified the audience so that children swooned and fetuses were aborted

Colonia Caesareia Antiocheia
I visited Antioch twice in the summer of 1911. On the first occasion our party, including Sir W. M. and Lady Ramsay, Miss M. M. Hardie of Newnham College, Cambridge, and the writer, divided its attention between the modern town of Yalowadj and the Hieron of Mên Askaênos, on the neighbouring peak of Karakuyu, which we had the good fortune to find at last. The discovery was primarily due to the hospitable agent of the Ottoman Railway at Yalowadj, M…

Secreti Loqvimur: An Interpretation of Seneca's Thyestes
Athenian tragedies are dated by didascaliae that commemorate public performance, less satisfactorily by historical allusion or parody in dated comedy. Because Seneca's were never publicly performed and, therefore, lack didascaliae , and because precise historical allusions and comic parodies do not exist, we have no absolute date for Thyestes . Traditionally the tragedies are assigned to the eight year exile in Corsica (41-49). There the busy sta…

The Spherical Earth in Plato's Phaedo

Rosen- meyer of the University of Washington has challenged the traditional view that in the Phaedo Plato imagines the earth as a sphere.

The value of his ingenious essay is that it enco…
Early-Christian Epitaphs from Phrygia
The earliest Christians of Phrygia were the nameless converts made by Paul the Apostle when he preached to a congregation of Jews and “Godfearing” gentiles (the latter being Greek or Greco-Phrygian incolae or cives of the colonia and Greek-speaking members of Roman colonial families in the synagogue at Colonia Caesareia Antiocheia in A.D. 49; and before Paul's death the Christian mission to Phrygia had been launched from bases both in the east (I…
Asia Minor, 1924: III.—Monuments from Central Phrygia
In July, 1924, we travelled from Afion-kara-hissar through the district of the Pentapolis to Dineir (Apameia), and thence to Chivril on the edge of the Eumeneian plain. After visiting most of the villages near Ishekli (Eumeneia) we went northward via Seljukler to join the railway at Ushak; the objects mentioned below were seen in the course of this journey

Julia-Ipsus and Augustopolis
The following pages contain the results, not devoid of interest, if meagre in quantity, of various short visits to the valley of the Caystrus in Central Phrygia, and to the hills which bound it on the north and south. This valley formed the meeting-place of five great Anatolian roads, the northern and central trade-routes from the east, the highways to the west coast down the Maeander valley or past Akmonia or Eucarpia and Sardis, and the road to…

Studies in Early Christian Epigraphy
The publication of a second fourth-century epitaph from Laodicea Combusta, engraved on the tomb of two of its bishops, Severus and Eugenius, calls for fresh study, from a new angle, of the epitaph of the persecuted bishop Julius Eugenius of the same city, which was first published (with a provisional text) in the Expositor in 1908, and has already become the subject of a considerable literature. An opportunity therefore offers itself to present E…
Asia Minor, 1924: I.–Monuments from Iconium, Lycaonia and Isauria
The antiquities described below were seen by us during a visit to Konia and the Isaurian hill-country in June, 1924. One of us (Buckler) spent ten days at Konia while the other two were travelling in the south; after this we were together in Konia for four days. As a result of the instructions kindly given by the Ministers of the Interior and of Public Instruction, we were extremely well treated by the local authorities, and desire particularly t…
Asia Minor, 1924: II.—Monuments from Cotiaeum
The objects here described were seen at Kutahia in June, 1924; too often, owing to their situation, no photograph could be taken by us, and in such cases we have tried as best we could to represent them by measured drawings; the interest and variety of their designs makes it desirable that before they disappear they should all be adequately photographed. For the notes on nos. 128, 161–168 Buckler is responsible, for those on nos. 125, 150–155 Cal…

Asia Minor, 1924: V.—Monuments from the Upper Tembris Valley
The following stones, like no. 230 published in Part IV of this article ( J.R.S. XVII, 1927, p. 49 ff.), were seen by W. M. Calder and C. W. M. Cox in the course of a hurried visit to the Upper Tembris Valley in July, 1924. The MS. of Part V was completed in March, 1926; in the revision of the proof-sheets we have been privileged to use the notes, impressions and photographs made by C. W. M. Cox and A. Cameron in the course of a systematic survey…
Inscriptions of Southern Galatia
The Epitaph of Avircius Marcellus
The capitals are preserved on the fragment in the Lateran Museum, the minuscules were read from the stone in the fourth century by the Writer of the Life. In 1. 7, the MSS of the Life give βασιλείαν or βασίλειαν; the former is printed by most editors in defiance of Ramsay's report that ΒΑΣ[ι]ΛΗ was on the stone when he and Sterrett saw it at Hieropolis in 1883. No disputed reading in the whole range of ancient Christian epigraphy has aroused keen…

A Hellenistic Survival at Eucarpia
Two good friends have supplied me with the material for a note which I dedicate, with kind wishes, to a third. Michael Ballance inaugurated the epigraphical harvest of our journey in 1954 with the discovery of two remarkable inscriptions at Emircik near Beyce Sultan (territory of Eumeneia). One of these served to clinch an argument in Anatolian Studies , V, 1955, p. 38. The second is no. 1 below. A few days later Habip Zebir Ağa, itinerant tinker…
