Greek Ethnic Terminology
This volume is a contribution to the study of the ancient Greek vocabulary used to describe the local origins of individuals. It sheds light on ancient grammarians, and other ancient writers (many of them ‘lost’ in the sense that they survive only in quotations in later sources). At the heart of the volume is a study of the sources that lie behind an enigmatic treatise, which survives only in epitome: the Ethnika of the grammarian Stephanus of By…

Summary of the Eastern Campaigns
It is not my purpose in this brief chapter to do more than indicate, on the basis of Arrian’s narrative of Alexander’s campaigns, where Alexander is recorded as having founded major settlements, or actual cities, with a brief note also of the circumstances in which this occurred. This introduction will, it is hoped, help the reader to follow the problems that arise in identifying the foundations there after.

The Geographers
The evidence provided by the geographers of Hellenistic and Roman date is of two kinds, the one geographical in the wide sense of providing locations and measurements of regions, the other chorographical, recording the location of tribes, cities and other settlements within the regions described, and also their physical features. The evidence covers a long period of the Greco-Roman geographical tradition, from the bematists of Alexander’s expedit…
Identifications
The purpose of this chapter is to consider the possible identification and location of the cities described as Alexandrias, or associated names, as recorded by the Alexander-historians and the geographers. No attempt is made to discuss the identifications proposed for cities recorded only in the Alexandrian or Iranian lists, which, for the reasons explained in Chapters I and II, I disregard in this context. The historicity of the foundations unde…
General Assessment of Alexander’s Foundations
Several features seem to recur constantly as factors in the foundations, which provide us with an indication of Alexander’s purpose in founding cities. In assessing this evidence we leave on one side the numerous forts and temporary garrisons, the construction of which was a recurrent feature of operations throughout the years of campaigning, and which are frequently referred to by the historians. There is no suggestion in our sources that these …
Epilogue
A Brief assessment of the various data concerning Alexander’s foundations may be summarily presented here, before turning to consider the immediately subsequent history of the cities he founded. By way of recapitulation, then, it may be stated, as the central thesis of this study, that the lists of cities named Alexandria as recorded in the Romance and texts which derive from it, either through use of it in a different context (as the Excerpta Ba…
Dedication
The Iranian Tradition
The Iranian evidence for the foundation of cities by Alexander the Great supports, I believe, the interpretation offered of the Alexandrian lists in the previous chapter. It is not possible in the context of the present topic to provide a complete background for the Alexander-traditions of the Sassanian and early Islamic worlds, but a few observations may help the reader to follow my account of the Persian and Arabic evidence.

The Alexandrian Lists
We shall be concerned in this opening chapter, not with the cities attested by the Alexander-historians as having been founded by Alexander in the course of his campaigns but with the lists of cities named as Alexandrias in (a) the Epitome of Stephanus of Byzantium’s ‘[ineq], (b) the earliest surviving Greek and associated versions (henceforth called the a-tradition) of the Alexander-Romance, properly called the Life of Alexander of Macedon, and …

Uk Excess Share Returns: Firm Size and Volatility
A bstract Using the family of GARCH‐M(p, q) models and UK data comprising of the market portfolio and a portfolio of smaller company shares over the period January 1970 through June 1994, this paper provides support for the notion that the degree of market capitalisation is an important factor in the analysis of risk‐return relationships. The evidence reported supports the view that, although both portfolios appear to be driven by the persistence…
Cities of Alexander the Great
The cities founded by Alexander the Great are an essential part of his overall achievements. The problems concerning them, however, are many - and some incapable of solution. This book is the first to unravel thoroughly the tradition, explaining how it originated in a tendentious political pamphlet of the third century BC, which in turn originated in Ptolemaic Alexandria in the context of the development of the earliest version of the Alexander R…

Modelling Risk in the Interwar Foreign Exchange Market
There is now evidence to reject the speculative efficiency hypothesis for the 1920s float. This paper investigates whether the rejection may be due to risk aversion. Two models of the risk premium are fitted: the ARCH-in-mean model and the DYMIMIC (kalman filter) model. Some support is found for the reichsmark, but the results are not otherwise supportive of either model. Copyright 1990 by Scottish Economic Society

Greek–Phoenician Bilingual Inscriptions from Rhodes
Bilingual Greek–Semitic inscriptions have been found at numerous places in the Mediterranean—not only on Cyprus, but also on Malta, on Cos, in Athens, Miletus, and elsewhere—and, though not as numerous as Greek–Latin bilingual texts, are nevertheless of considerable interest both in themselves and also as evidence for the coexistence, in individual cases, of the two cultures. Rhodes, from which the three pieces here republished come, had a large …

Alexandria ad Aegyptum again
In a note in a recent number of the Journal , Sir Harold Bell showed that Alexandria ad Aegyptum meant ‘Alexandria by Egypt’. No one is likely to dispute his arguments in this respect. It is, however, worth pointing out that a piece of evidence from the third century before Christ shows that, in circles closely connected with Alexandria, that city was thought of as ‘in Egypt’. A Delian inscription of that date contains a decree in honour of a Nax…

Dédicaces attalides en Béotie
Les cinq inscriptions qui attestent des rapports entre les Attalides et la Béotie sont l'objet d'une publication nouvelle, après revision des pierres. Elles mentionnent des consécrations de terres à des sanctuaires béotiens par des membres de la dynastie pergaménienne. Quatre proviennent de Thespies et remontent aux premiers temps de la dynastie. La cinquième, jusqu'ici peu commentée, signale une consécration à Dionysos Lyseios par Euménès II. L'…
Philip V and Lemnos
The letter of Philip V to the Athenian cleruchs in Hephaestia on Lemnos was discovered in 1938 during the Italian excavations of the Cabirion there. It was published by Dr. Silvio Accame in Riv. Fil. LXIX (1941), 179 ff., and repeated by Robert, Rev. des Études Grecques , 1944, 221, no. 150. The stone is now in the Epigraphical Museum in Athens (EM 13148). It has been damaged since its original publication. The revised text of the inscription giv…

The stele has been used as an oil-press, and the inscribed surface of the back has been entirel…

Mark Antony in Alexandria—A Note
The lively interest shown by Professor Last in the study of Roman Egypt is typified not only by his active interest in the Egypt Exploration Society but also by several articles in the field, among them that recently published on the powers of the Prefect of Egypt ( JEA , 40, 1954, pp. 68 ff.). I hope that this note concerning Mark Antony will be of interest to him
