Hekate and the Priest Dionysios on a Phrygian Doorstone Monument in the North Carolina Museum of Art
This article presents an iconographic and textual analysis of a monument likely hailing from the Upper Tembris valley of Phrygia that now resides in the North Carolina Museum of Art. The monument has received little scholarly attention, yet it has much to contribute to our understanding of priestly roles associated with the goddess Hekate. The text commemorates the dedication of a decorated grave monument to Tertia, whose husband is Dionysios. Th…

A Ptolemaic petition from a 'Judeo-Egyptian' (Ἰουδαιοαιγύπτιος)
This article presents an edition of an unpublished Ptolemaic papyrus presently housed in the Matsushita Museum of Art in Kirishima, Japan. The papyrus comes from a village in the meris of Themistos in the Arsinoite nome (Egypt) and dates to the late third century bce . The most noteworthy aspect of this fragmentary papyrus, which preserves a petition, is that the individual who submitted it bears the compound ethnic identifier 'Judeo-Egyptian' (Ἰ…
Canine Comfort
Despite anecdotal and empirical evidence that pets are beneficial for mental health, little is understood about these relationships in adolescents. This study examined the moderating effect of family dog ownership and perceived dog support on the relationship between social victimization and mental health complaints in adolescents. Adolescents (n = 246; 106 boys, 140 girls) and their parents completed measures of peer victimization and mental hea…
A Sabaic votive inscription from the Medelhavsmuseet in Stockholm with two lexical notes on bḥr and bṭl
A Sabaic inscription on an alabaster block in the Medelhavsmuseet in Stockholm, dating to the middle of the 3rd century ce records the consecration of a monument to the god Almaqah in his temple at Maḥram Bilqīs in Maʾrib. The dedication is stated to be in gratitude for the safe return from the war expeditions of Ilīsharaḥ Yaḥḍub, king of Sabaʾ, and dhū-Raydān, son of Fāriʿum Yanhub. The inscription indicates that the dedication was done as a ren…
Discourse in the Longue Durée
Discourse is dynamic and emergent, yet certain elements of discourse can appear remarkably stable, enduring across centuries. This discursive inertia gives us evidence of discourse in the past, allowing us to put current discursive moments in a longue durée context. Discursive inertia also begs avenues of investigation in its own right. We here discuss the common poetic patterns of chiasmus and difrasismo on one branch of the Mayan language famil…

Marking time among the Ch'orti' Maya
The indigenous population of Ch'orti' Maya of southern Guatemala make use of many natural phenomena to identify and mark time. In this study I explain how Ch'orti' organize and define the time for ceremonial, agricultural, and other purposes through the careful use of astronomical calculations and observations. I also show how time is divided and conceptualized within a day, and the specificity of these divisions in Ch'orti'. Furthermore, I argue…
Birds as Seers
For many cultures around the world, birds are viewed as seers who can foretell the future. Among the Ch'orti Maya of southern Guatemala, birds play an important role in many aspects of peoples' lives. Through an ethno-ornithological analysis based on fieldwork with the Ch'orti', this paper shows how birds function as the principal messengers of future happenings, prognosticating positive and negative events such as love, sickness, and/or death, a…

Parallel worlds
Despite recent developments in epigraphy, ethnopoetics, and the literary investigation of colonial and modern materials, few studies have compared glyphic texts and historic Maya literatures. Parallel Worlds examines Maya writing and literary traditions from the Classic period until today, revealing remarkable continuities across time. In this volume, contributions from leading scholars in Maya literary studies examine Maya discourse from Classic…
