In ancient and medieval Greek texts it occurs frequently that well-read authors allude to literary passages without mentioning their sources, thus inviting the reader to discover the underlying intertextuality. The paper deals with such a case in the private letter P.Oslo II 50 (1st - 2nd cent. A.D.), where the author, a certain Severus, alludes to Herodotus I 44, 2, so that he may express his disappointment at the recipient. In den griechischen Texten der Antike und des Mittelalters kommt es des Ofteren vor, das belesene Autoren auf literarische Stellen anspielen, ohne sie ausdrucklich zu nennen, und damit ihre Leser einladen, die Intertextualitat zu erfassen. Der Aufsatz befasst sich mit einem solchen Fall im Privatbrief P.Oslo II 50 (1./2. Jh. n. Chr.), wo der Verfasser, ein gewisser Severus, auf Herodot I 44, 2 anspielt, um seine Enttauschung uber den Adressaten zum Ausdruck zu bringen.
在古代和中世纪的希腊文本中,经常发生这样的情况:读得好的作者对文学段落都不提及其来源,从而邀请读者发现潜在的互文性。本文在私人信件P.Oslo II 50(公元1至2美分)中处理了这样一个案例,作者,某个西弗鲁,暗指希罗多德一世44,2,这样他就可以表达对收件人的不满。在古代和中世纪的希腊文本中,阅读作者往往在没有明确命名的情况下暗指文学段落,从而邀请读者理解互文性。该文件在私人信件P.Oslo II 50(1/2。cN.C.),作者,某个西弗鲁,暗指希罗多德一世44,2,以表达他对收件人的交换。

In 1993, three incomplete ancient Greek inscriptions came to light in Perth, Western Australia. All were subsequently repatriated to Greece. One from the Roman Imperial period was unpublished, and remained so until very recently. It mentions a citizen of Thessaloniki who is arkhisynagogos of a private association which memorialises a fellow-member. The mention of a certain Iulia Prokla suggests that she may be known from another inscription from that city, and possibly also from one in Rome. (496 characters including spaces; 420 characters, not including spaces)

The summer of 357 was a problematic time of overlapping troubles for the Roman Empire in the West. Ammianus Marcellinus is our best or unique source about these events. His account, as usual, shows many signs of strong bias in favour of Julian. But past scholarship has missed other points that enable us to tell a very different tale on this year of warfare. The strategic planning of Constantius II and the tactical leadership of Barbatio were not at all so bad as Ammianus brilliantly enjoins us to believe.

In 2007, a project commenced to catalogue and to publish the Greek and Latin inscriptions in the Karadeniz Eregli Museum. The recorded inscriptions are all from Zonguldak province (Eastern Bithynia), which is where the ancient cities of Herakleia Pontike and Tieion/Tios are located. So far, twenty-two new inscriptions held by the Museum have been published in previous papers. In the present paper, one honorary and four new grave inscriptions of the Roman imperial period - found in the districts of Alapli, Devrek, Gokcebey, and Eregli, all in Zonguldak province - are presented. Their importance lies in the new information they provide on the social history and prosopography of Herakleia Pontike and Tios/Tieion as well as the ethnicity and the status of individuals in Roman Bithynia. These English translations of those new inscriptions are 1.The uncle Marcus Aemilius? Thalassios, the younger, (honoured) Gnaeus Aemilius Pontikos/Pontianos, son of Gnaeus?. 2.Clodius?, son of …..-siphilos, (died) at the age of 75.

Since 1883, the Roman emperor Commodus’ (180-192 CE) famed concubine Marcia has been identified as Marcia Aurelia Ceionia Demetrias, a woman honored on a statue base in ancient Anagnia, Italy (CIL X 5918). This article reexamines the inscription in light of other epigraphic evidence and corrects a longstanding mistake in historical reconstructions of the late-Antonine dynasty. It shows that the woman known as Marcia the powerful courtier and ostensible Christian-sympathizer was not the same as the woman honored on the inscription. They were two different women entirely, as the inscription’s nomenclature, status indication, and date indicate. The Marcia Aurelia Ceionia Demetrias honored on the inscription was a local elite likely married to the imperial freedman who was also honored with her as a civic benefactor in ancient Anagnia (CIL X 5917).
自1883年以来,罗马皇帝康茂德(公元180-192年)的著名妃子玛西娅被确认为玛西娅·奥雷莉亚·切奥尼娅·德米特里亚斯,一位在意大利古代阿纳尼亚雕像基座上受到表彰的女性(CIL X 5918)。本文结合其他碑文证据对铭文进行了重新审视,并纠正了安东尼王朝后期历史重建中长期存在的一个错误。这表明,被称为玛西娅的女人——强大的朝臣和表面上的基督教同情者——与铭文上的女人不同。正如铭文的命名、地位和日期所示,她们完全是两个不同的女人。铭文上的Marcia Aurelia Ceionia Demetrias是一位当地精英,很可能嫁给了帝国自由人,后者在古代阿纳尼亚也被尊为公民恩人(CIL X 5917)。

The epigraphic record pertaining to the auxiliary fort from Buciumi is quite scarce. This is especially true for onomastic evidence, indeed virtually none of the members of the local garrison is known to us by name. The graffito discussed in the paper, although incomplete, reveals the names of two individuals: a centurion and a common soldier. While the name of the centurion ( Genialis ) is quite usual, the miles displays an extremely rare name of uncertain origin ( Zanax ). The object of the paper is twofold. On one hand it discusses the phenomenon of military graffiti, especially ownership inscriptions, on the other hand it analyses various possibilities regarding the origin of the enigmatic name borne by the soldier in question.

The formulary of ancient magic features an expression, which is object of analysis in the present paper. It consists of the predicate ἐγώ eἰμι followed by the name of one or more gods or daemons. By this, the person reciting the magical spell identified him- or herself with a supernatural entity. A detailed overview of its stylistic and semantic features reveals how the formula is to be counted among those rhetorical devices of the magic act that enhanced its dramatic force. Rather than believing to be actually possessed by some divinity, the speaker-actor of the formula played the role of that divinity, thereby staging the magic ritual as a dialogic performance.
