Mysterious Graffito Discovered

Mysterious Graffito Discovered 
 CAIRO, Sept 28, (Reuter) - Outside of Aswan, among the rock outcroppings
which compose the First Cataract of the Nile, an amateur Egyptologist and rock
climber claims to have discovered a graffito, written in Demotic script.
Demotic is a form of the ancient Egyptian language, in use during the late
Pharaonic period through the rule of the Romans. What is unusual about this
inscription, claims Dirk "Bubba" MacGuire, graduate student in electrical
engineering at the University of Alabama, is its repetitive "sing-song"
composition. 
"We have many dedicatory inscriptions in Demotic," explained MacGuire," but
none that repeat the inscriber's name three times -- twice in succession."
Other unusual aspects of this graffito are the use of the title after the
personal name, as well as its boastful oratory apparently attributing the
physical strength of the inscriber, a river pilot named Pepwy, to his
vegetarian diet. 
"Such claims regarding an exclusive diet of plants are almost unheard of in
the ancient world," stated MacGuire. 
While he still has some reservations about the readings of some of the words,
MacGuire provided the following provisional translation of the inscription:
"Pepwy, the man who sails am I. Pepwy the man who sails am I. It is while I
am eating my vegetables, that I am strong to the ends (of the earth). Pepwy,
the man who sails am I." The name of the subject of the graffito is mysterious
in that it is not a common Egyptian name. MacGuire speculates that the name may
be Carian. The Carians were a seafaring people from Asia Minor some of whom
settled in Egypt after its conquest by Alexander the Great.

Antiquities of Ionia
Society of Dilettanti
Die fünfbändige erste Publikation zu den antiken Bauwerken Ioniens enthält neben Veduten auch detaillierte Bauaufnahmen. Auftraggeber war die Londoner Society of Dilettanti. Richard Chandler (1738-1810), der Architekt Nicholas Revett (1720-1804) und der Maler William Pars (1742-1782) unternahmen in den Jahren 1764-1766 eine Expedition nach Kleinasien und Griechenland. Nach dem Vorbild der von Revett und James Stuart publizierten Antiquities of Athens sollten die nach Meinung der Society interessantesten Heiligtümer Ioniens veröffentlicht werden: Der Tempel des Dionysos in Teos, der Athena Polias in Priene und des Apollon Didymaios in Milet. Die Kosten für die ersten 150 Exemplare übernahm die Society, die Autoren erhielten die Erlaubnis weitere drucken zu lassen. Doch die hohe Auflage von 500 Exemplaren verkaufte sich nur sehr schleppend, die ionischen Altertümer stießen auf ein nicht so großes Interesse wie die von Athen. 
Im Jahr 1829 erschien die deutsche Übersetzung der beiden ersten Bände.
Band 1, London, 1821

Band 2, London, 1797

Band 3, London, 1840

Le Descrizioni di Roma dalla Fine del XIII all'Inizio del XV Secolo:Corpus elettronico delle descrizioni di Roma
Grazie alla doppia universalità di cui è depositaria la città di Roma ha costituito nell’Europa medioevale, e in quella di prima età moderna, un unicum. Nella sua natura di capitale del mondo antico e centro propulsore del mondo latino, Roma fu avvertita, anche nei secoli del più profondo Medioevo, quale custode di una civiltà in cui quasi tutta l’Europa riconosceva le proprie radici e che, sebbene scomparsa, era ancora capace di esercitare profonde suggestioni attraverso un’infinità di memorie (monumenta) architettoniche ed artistiche. L’imponenza di questi monumenta, che formavano gran parte della città, faceva sentire il mondo antico come qualcosa di gigantesco ed irripetibile, qualcosa che si poneva al di sopra delle facoltà umane. L’altro polo della Roma medioevale era rappresentato dalla città in cui il Cristianesimo aveva ottenuto la sua definitiva vittoria, facendosi religione universale: anche questa era una vicenda di luoghi, di monumenta e memoriae conservate nei preziosi scrigni costituiti dalle basiliche, dalle chiese, dai santuari, dai cimiteri dei primi cristiani. Naturalmente l’interazione, la contaminazione, la sovrapposizione fra i due poli fu continua: basti citare qui la leggenda dell’apparizione della Madonna a Augusto, che portò alla fondazione dell’Ara Coeli, e la vicenda della statua equestre di Marco Aurelio, considerata quella di Costantino, il primo imperatore cristiano, e perciò gelosamente custodita per tutto il Medioevo nel campo Lateranense...

Histos Supplements
ISSN: 2046-5963 (Online)
(Print): 2046-5955
Supplements to Histos offer thematic volumes whose size or subject matter makes them less suited for publication in the regular journal and more appropriate for independent publication. Material for the Supplements undergoes the same blind refereeing as contributions to the regular journal. The arrangements for blind refereeing are conducted by the supervisory editor.
We recommend that citations from the Supplements be cited as follows:
• For single works thus:

Gábor Zólyomi: An Introduction to the Grammar of Sumerian
With the collaboration of Szilvia Jáka-Sövegjártó and Melinda Hagymássy
Budapest, 2017
ISBN 978-963-284-844-0
This textbook provides an introduction to the grammar of Sumerian, one of the oldest documented languages in the world. It not only synthesizes the results of recent scholarship but introduces original insights on many important questions. The book is designed to appeal to readers of all backgrounds, including those with no prior background in Sumerian or cuneiform writing.

It is written for undergraduate students and structured for a semester-long course: the order of the topics is determined by didactic considerations, with the focus on syntactic analysis and evidence. It explains the functioning of Sumerian grammar in 16 lessons, illustrated with more than 500 fully glossed examples. Each lesson ends with a series of tasks; a solution key to selected exercises can be found at the end of the volume. Above all, this is the first Sumerian textbook that introduces and utilizes the online assyriological resources available on the internet.

An Introduction to the Grammar of Sumerian has been written on the assumption that after decades of grammatical research it has become possible now to teach a general framework of Sumerian grammar that may function as the basis of further, more intensive and elaborate studies.

Official Inscriptions of the Middle East in Antiquity
OIMEA Logo
The LMU Munich-based and Humboldt Foundation-fundedOfficial Inscriptions of the Middle East in Antiquity (OIMEA) is presently an umbrella project that is intended to facilitate quick and easy access to a wide range of open-access editions of ancient Middle Eastern texts, all of which at this time are hosted on the Open Richly Annotated Cuneiform Corpus (Oracc) platform. Some projects (see below) are directly or indirectly managed by members of the chair of the Alexander von Humboldt Professorship for Ancient History of the Near and Middle East of Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (Historisches Seminar - Abteilung Alte Geschichte), Karen Radner -- in particular Alexa Bartelmus and Jamie Novotny -- while others are not and these are included here under a Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike license.
As is obvious from the project's name, the scope of OIMEA is official inscriptions. The currently available projects -- all of whose texts are written in the Akkadian and Sumerian languages and in cuneiform -- are:
In time, OIMEA will include corpora of texts written in other languages, including Aramaic, Phoenician, Luwian, Old Persian, and Urartian. Moreover, the OIMEA team also intends to make the site a powerful multi-project search engine that will enable anyone interested in official inscriptions to simultaneously search the translations, transliterations, catalogues, and portal pages of every available project on which official inscriptions of the Middle East in Antiquity are edited. As an informational and search hub, the project strives to make the vast and varied corpus of inscriptions easily and freely accessible to every scholar, student, and member of the general public, and, in the near future, to enable our users the ability to effectively and efficiently search that rich genre of ancient records.

Words In Progress: Supplementary Lexicon of Ancient Greek
The WiPWords in Progress website is an online freely consultable database that is continuously enriched. It represents an on-going supplement to the major currently used dictionaries of Ancient and Byzantine Greek and seeks to provide a scientific tool for scholars of Greek and more generally of the Ancient Greek and Latin world.

Drawing its inspiration from the over ten years of experience of PAWAGPoorly Attested Words in Ancient Greek, of which the materials form the basis for the new website, Words in Progress aims to expand its objectives by detailing corrections and additions of many different kinds, in order to record recent progress in the updating and enlargement of lexica of Ancient and Byzantine Greek. Its primary focus of activity concerns the recording of new words, but attention is also devoted to previously unknown sources, novel acceptations and improvements of all kinds involving the entries in the main existing dictionaries.

WiP is open to collaboration and contributions from the scientific community: thus WiP welcomes any indications that would enhance the range of materials to be included in the database.

Il sito rappresenta un supplemento in continua evoluzione ai principali dizionari di greco antico e bizantino esistenti; il progetto intende offrire uno strumento scientifico agli studiosi di lessicografia greca e più in generale del mondo classico.

Ispirato all’esperienza decennale del PAWAGPoorly Attested Words in Ancient Greek, i cui materiali rappresentano le risorse di base del nuovo sito, Words in Progress mira a espandere il proprio raggio d’azione, segnalando correzioni e aggiunte di vario genere, per dar conto dei recenti progressi nel lavoro di aggiornamento e ampliamento dei lessici di greco antico e bizantino. L’attività principale del sito è incentrata sulla registrazione di nuove voci, ma un’attenzione particolare è rivolta anche alla segnalazione di fonti finora sconosciute, di nuovi inserimenti e di correzioni di vario genere relative ai lemmi presenti sui principali dizionari.

WiPè aperto alla collaborazione e ai contributi della comunità scientifica: per questo accoglie ogni indicazione che possa ampliare la gamma delle risorse da includere nella banca dati.

BiblIndex Index of Biblical Quotations in Early Christian Literature

[First posted in AWOL 9 December 2009. Updated 5 April 2017]

The BiblIndex project is supported by Sources Chrétiennes HiSoMA in Lyon and funded by the French National Research Agency (2011-2015) and the Digital Scientific Library (2015-2016). BiblIndex aims at building an exhaustive online index of biblical quotations and allusions in Early Christian Literature, both Western and Eastern texts, which is meant to eventually cover the whole Late Antiquity and the early Middle Ages. This is not about a binary and one-way connection between a frozen canonical corpus and a corpus of authors quoting verbatim: more accurately, BiblIndex seeks to give full account of the complex links existing between a corpus of biblical texts –changing collections of fragmented scriptural books which were originally written in various languages and translated early in their history, while still in progress– with a corpus of ancient and medieval authors, who refer to the Bible –while commenting, meditating, translating it– as a fixed entity yet at the same time contribute, through their quotations and spiritual or liturgical reminiscences, to the form and concept of 'the text'. Quotations in ancient authors show these biblical texts in the process of development and reception. Reassembling this hitherto scattered patrimonial treasure, BiblIndex aims at providing a federative tool –as objective as possible– intended for scholars and researchers as well as for a wider audience, in order to help understand the acculturation process of the Bible both in East and West, and to enhance studies in exegesis and history of the biblical text.

TRAC: Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference Proceedings

TRAC

TRAC is an unincorporated voluntary association that has developed from and around the annual series of Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conferences held since 1991.

The first Theoretical Roman Archaeology Conference was held in 1991 to widen the range of perspectives offered, and voices heard, in Roman Archaeology. This initiative was spearheaded by Dr. Eleanor Scott, who organised the first conference and remains an active contributor to the TRAC community.

In 2001, the TRAC Standing Committee was established to ensure that TRAC continues to serve its purpose well into the future. TRAC’s first constitution was approved in 2010. In 2013, a new TRAC Constitution was approved and remains in effect.

One of TRAC’s distinctive features is the regular and rapid publication of selected TRAC Proceedings from each annual conference, an accomplishment that has been achieved for all but one. Since the 1994 TRAC Conference (held at Durham), TRAC Proceedings have been published by Oxbow Books, and many volumes are available in hardcopy and ebook format through direct purchase from Oxbow.
In 2013 TRAC adopted an Open Access policy to make past TRAC Proceedings freely available in digital format from our website. The current policy allows for the Open Access release of individual papers (but not entire volumes in a single file) from each TRAC Proceedings volume after a waiting period of three years from its initial hardcopy publication. In line with this policy, all papers from the 1991 through 2010 TRAC Proceedings are now available as Open Access.
Papers from the TRAC 2011 Proceedings (published in 2012) will be released as Open Access during the TRAC 2015 conference, 27-29 March 2015, and papers from the TRAC 2012 Proceedings (published in 2013) will become available in this format during the TRAC/RAC conference in spring 2016.
