Dionysia or Dionysias at Kourion, Cyprus
An inscribed stone was discovered during the Kourion Urban Space Project 2015 season. The paper discusses its discovery and the inscription itself, which is now in the Episkopi Museum, Cyprus
Pagan angels in Roman Asia Minor
Franz Cumont's influential article on pagan angels in Revue de l’histoire des religions , published just over a century ago in 1915, remains the point de départ for work on that subject. The present essay offers a brief evaluation of some of its features, and then concentrates on Greek epigraphic evidence from Asia Minor in the Roman imperial period. Most of these texts were not published when Cumont wrote, or else he treated them briefly since h…
Galen Sotto Voce
Late in the second part (books 7–14) of the Therapeutikê methodos , which Galen was completing after a twenty-year gap since beginning the work as a whole, the text in Kühn (and in B = British Library Add. MS 6898 [xii cent.], at least) includes a comment which looks like a Galenic aside made parenthetically to himself while dictating. The sentence reads: ἐκεῖθεν οὖν αὐτὰ μεταφέρειν ἐνταῦθα σκοπούμενον ὅτῳ βέλτιον ἐξ αὐτῶν (so MS B, superior to K…
One hundred years of the Loeb Classical Library
2011 marks the centenary of the Loeb Classical Library. Founded in 1911 by James Loeb, the series has been served by seven editors and two publishers. More than 500 volumes have appeared and remain in print. The paper offers an assessment of the series’ achievement, and notes both innovations it introduced as well as shifts in emphasis over time. Its influence on a number of other publishing enterprises also receives mention
Mary Dolan
When Mary Dolan’s funeral was held at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church in Armidale, NSW on 7 April this year, the building was filled to overflowing. People were standing inside and outside. Present were family and friends from near and far, colleagues, members of probably every local church, and members of none. It was explicitly a service to give thanks for the life of one who had loving service of others and of her Master as her first priority. …
A paramone Text on a Family Funerary bomos at Burdur Museum
Accessed in late 1964 into Burdur Museum not long after the latter had been formally constituted, inv. no. 292 is the only inscribed monument there which bears the word paramone . This rectangular marble bomos with a phiale top, corner acroteria and a decorative moulding around its outer edge, carries relief decoration and text on all four faces. The monument warrants a little more discussion than can be allowed in the catalogue which we are prep…
The Mysteries of Artemis Ephesia in Pisidia
Of the roughly 160 inscriptions currently held in the Archaeological Museum at Burdur, only a fraction has been published hitherto. The following articles have published monuments from the Museum: 1. G. E. Bean, “Sculptured and inscribed stones at Burdur”, Belleten 18 (1954) 469–88 (Turkish version: 489–510); inscribed stones: nos. 3–5, 8, 9, 13, 14, 17–22 ( SEG 14.797–809), of which nos. 8, 13, 19–22 seem no longer to be located in the Museum or…
Two New Milestones from Pisidia
By the end of 1987 three successive seasons had been spent by a team co-directed by Dr. S. Mitchell and Professor M. Waelkens at the Augustan colony of Cremna, and two (plus a brief initial season in 1985) at Pisidia's chief city in Roman Imperial times, Sagalassos. The permit for a surface survey has provided the opportunity to locate and check a considerable percentage of the texts previously known. It has also made possible the discovery of se…
New Documents Illustrating Early Christianity
The Inscriptions from the so-called “Library” at Cremna
In July 1985, the opportunity was afforded to participate in a Surface Survey at the Roman Colony of Cremna in Pisidia. Coincidentally, 1985 marked the centenary of the visit there by the first traveller to publish a still useful site plan. One building only has been excavated at Cremna (Pl. VII, a ). As a result of the discovery by local villagers of several statues during illegal digging at the site, a team led by Professor Jale İnan of the Uni…
Name Change as an Indication of Religious Conversion in Antiquity
We take as our starting point the situation at Caesarea in Palestine in A.D. 308: the Persecution is perhaps at its most severe, headed up locally by the praeses, Firmillian. On trial before him are several Christians of Egyptian origin, but he is nonplussed because they have renounced their birth-name: 'instead of the names associated with idols which their parents had given them, they called themselves after prophets'.' The names the men took t…
