The Epigraphy of the ‘Greek Cities’

2020
AbstractThe inscriptions of the Ptolemaic period from the three ‘Greek cities’ of Naukratis and Alexandria in the Delta and Ptolemais in Upper Egypt illustrate the distinctive character of these foundations which contrasts with the indigenous towns of the Delta and the Nile Valley.

Method and Manners in Greek Epigraphy

Phoenix, 1966
THE GREEKS from an early period recognised two natural and cyclic intervals of time: a lunar month of about 29 1/2 days and a solar (seasonal) year of about 365 1/4. Their calendars represented attempts to combine the two; but neither twelve lunar months, amounting to 354 days, nor thirteen lunar months, amounting to 384 days, would disguise the ...

Greek Epigraphy and Ancient Economics

2012
After initial comments on the role of Greek inscriptions as ‘archives’, this chapter reviews the drastic changes that have occurred since Finley's book of 1973 in the picture of the ancient economy, both by acknowledging development and growth, and by adopting new concepts, not least New Institutional Economics with its emphasis on transaction costs ...

The Progress of Greek Epigraphy, 1929–1930

The Journal of Hellenic Studies, 1931
In the following pages I attempt briefly to survey the publications of 1929 and 1930 relating to Greek inscriptions, following the same general lines as in my last Bibliography. Their number and their volume will, I trust, serve alike to justify my bold venture and to explain the necessarily meagre and inadequate indication of their contents which is ...

The Progress of Greek Epigraphy, 1915–1918

The Journal of Hellenic Studies, 1919
In my last epigraphical summary (J.H.S.xxxv. 260 ff.) I dealt with the period from July 1914 to June 1915 inclusive. The present article continues the record down to the close of 1918. The conditions of the three and a half years which it thus attempts to cover will, I hope, prove a sufficient excuse for any omissions which may exist—as I fear they ...

The Progress of Greek Epigraphy, 1939–1940

The Journal of Hellenic Studies, 1942
It need hardly be emphasised that the survey of the past two years' work in the field of Greek epigraphy which I here offer can make no pretension to completeness. The interruption of communications consequent upon the war has robbed me of access to the majority of the relevant books and periodicals published on the Continent during the last months of ...

The Progress of Greek Epigraphy, 1952–53

The Journal of Hellenic Studies, 1955
Once more, and for the last time, I attempt briefly to review the epigraphical progress of the last two years, so completing a survey which began in 1906 (YWCS 1906, 69 ff.) and has appeared in this Journal since 1913 (XXXIV 321 ff.). In view of the superlative value of the annual ‘Bulletin Epigraphique’ of J. and L.

The Progress of Greek Epigraphy, 1921–1922

The Journal of Hellenic Studies, 1923
In the following Bibliography, which continues that of J.H.S. xli. 50 ff., I attempt to deal with the publications of 1921 and 1922, though a few books and articles are noticed which, though they appeared in previous years, only came under my notice in the period in question.

The Progress of Greek Epigraphy, 1931–1932

The Journal of Hellenic Studies, 1933
In the following pages I offer a brief survey of books and articles published in 1931 and 1932 which relate solely, or mainly, to Greek inscriptions. Their importance and their number have rendered the undertaking peculiarly difficult and have necessitated, if not the exclusion, at least the most rigorous compression of the paragraphs dealing with the ...
