Tituli Lydiae Linguis Graeca et Latina Conscripti
Fasz. III, Philadelpheia et ager Philadelphenus
by Georg Petzl
In Greek and Roman antiquity, Lydia was a flourishing area of Western Asia Minor. Its civic life is richly reflected by the many inscriptions, mostly written in Greek (some of them also in Latin), which have survived until our days: legal documents, petitions directed to emperors, religious texts (e. g. rules of a cult-association, dedications, a magic incantation), prosaic and metric funerary inscriptions, which contain interesting material for research on the history of mentality, etc. In order to make these sources available to the Classical scholarship, it is necessary to publish them, furnished with translations and commentaries, in corpora. For some parts of Lydia such publications exist (though, because of the constant increase of fresh material, they should partly be updated): for the Caystrus valley (I.K. 17) and for Sardis (Buckler-Robinson, Sardis VII 1); the Northeastern part is the area dealt with in TAM V 1, the Northwestern in TAM V 2. In the present fascicule TAM V 3, G. Petzl publishes approximately 540 inscriptions originating from the city of Philadelphia (Alasehir) and its territory. He furnishes each of them with description, bibliography, German translation and an appropriate commentary. A detailed index, including also legends and representations on coins, a topographical map and 31 plates conclude the book.
