The Progress of Greek Epigraphy, 1923–1924

Extract

[I.G. x.] Various potters' names on ancient lamps now preserved in the Museum at Preveza have been published by A. Philadelpheus. G. Seure devotes two articles to votive reliefs belonging to the Belgrade Museum which have remained unpublished or have disappeared; in the first of these no inscriptions are actually published, but notes are given on the history and provenance of the stones, the Thracian names and certain curious types of the ‘Dieu Cavalier,’ while the second contains a descriptive catalogue of twenty portrayals of various divinities and dedications to the hunter-god, of which, however, only two, both from Philippopolis, bear Greek inscriptions. M. N. Tod has completed his discussion of the Macedonian era, drawing up lists of (a) Macedonian inscriptions dated by the Augustan era only and of (b) those dated by one unspecified era, and concluding that almost all, if not all, of those in the latter category refer to the provincial era of 148 B.C. Ten inscriptions—one votive and the rest sepulchral—from Epidamnus, attributable apparently to the second or first century B.C., were published by S. Lambros, while C. Praschniker, in his account of his archaeological exploration of Middle Albania, gives a detailed description of various ancient sites, notably those of Apollonia, Nymphaeum and Byllis, and of the Via Egnatia and publishes thirteen epitaphs, six tile-stamps, a dedication to Asclepius, an honorary inscription and an interesting epigram of Justinian's reign, commemorating the work of the prefect Victorinus. To F. Bulič we owe our knowledge of an inscribed gem from Salona. G. I. Kazarov has collected in the districts of Mariovo and Prilep, in W. Macedonia, a Latin boundary-inscription of Hadrian's reign and thirteen Greek texts, several of which have since received needed correction. Three dedications, found near Kozani and now preserved there, have been copied and edited by A. D. Keramopoullos.
