Abstract:
Abstract This study explores the epigraphical program of Mamluk preaching pulpits (minbar, pl. manabir), focusing on Quranic and other religious inscriptions. Quranic verses are the most frequently employed inscription, while other religious texts are occasionally cited. These inscriptions emphasize the benefits of endowing mosques, the significance of minbar placement within the mosque, and practices of Muslim devotion comprising the Friday prayer. This article proposes that inscriptions are specifically chosen to signify the minbar as a place for preaching, both for the Friday noon (ḫuṭba) as well as popular preaching (mawʿiẓa). This is particularly evident in the late Mamluk minbars of Cairo, which bear inscriptions of two prominent components of the ḫuṭba. Furthermore, a unique inscriptional reference to using a minbar for mawʿiẓa is also presented.

Abstract:
The extensive use of inscriptions characterizes Islamic art and architecture. In fact, calligraphy is one of the most characteristic features distinguishing the Islamic civilization among the other cultures. Islamic buildings generally, and the residential ones in particular, have an abundant number of inscriptions. These inscriptions have, in addition to their ornamental role, an important significance represented in the meaning of their contents. This paper will shed light on the Arabic inscriptions of the Damascene Ottoman residences in order to discuss the inscription styles of script, as well as the meaning of their contents. The inscription styles of script include square geometric Kufi, Naskh and Thuluth. The most significant item is the inscription content, it is noteworthy that a few examples represent unread inscriptions, in other words, just an ornamental figure composed of Arabic letters with no meaning. The meanings of the inscriptions of the Damascene Ottoman residences could be categorized according to their purpose, position, and context; in this regard, the inscriptions are classified into commemorative, Quranic, the Prophet’s sayings, poetic inscriptions. On the other hand, the meanings of the inscriptions reflect the beliefs and the culture of the residences. (Please note that this article is in Arabic).

Abstract:
As an important era in the development of bronze inscriptions, the pre-Qin period has high research value in calligraphy aesthetics, and provides guidance for the research of inscription aesthetics in China. Firstly, the aesthetics of bronze inscriptions in the pre-Qin and Jin dynasties are analyzed, and the continuous evolution process of bronze inscriptions in the Jin state is studied. Secondly, the corresponding evolution of weapon inscriptions, musical instrument inscriptions, Chinese ritual instrument inscriptions, and the changes in the embellishment of the writing system. Through the display of the culture and art of Jin bronze inscription calligraphy, more people can feel the calligraphy culture of the pre-Qin and Jin inscriptions, as well as inherit and inherit in the study of calligraphy. Finally, the aesthetics of calligraphy of Jin bronze inscriptions are summarized to provide guidance for inheriting Jin culture.

Abstract:
In oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang dynasty, the writing position of the numeral month is relatively fixed, but there are also special writing positions. The formation of the special writing position of the numeral month in an oracle bone inscription is mainly influenced by five factors: zhaowen 兆文, the writing position of inscriptions, the format of line in an oracle bone inscription, the nature of the numeral month, and the writing materials of an oracle bone inscription. The influence of zhaowen on the writing position of the month is mainly manifested in fanzhao 犯兆. The influence of the writing position of inscriptions on the writing position of months includes two situations: the influence of the writing positions of inscriptions themselves and the influence of the writing position of the adjacent inscriptions. The influence of the format of line in oracle bone inscriptions on the writing position of months is mainly manifested in the direction of lines in oracle bone inscriptions. The influence of the nature of the month on the writing position of the month includes the independence and randomness of the month. The influence of the writing materials of an oracle bone inscription on the writing position of the month includes the scapula and the tortoise plastrons.

Abstract:
Until recently, 32 Middle Persian inscriptions documenting the construction of the Derbent defensive complex and dating from the very end of the 560s. AD were known. Now the construction Middle Persian inscriptions of Derbent has been replenished with two more inscriptions - No. 33 and No. 34, opened by the authors in 2016 and 2021, respectively. Inscription No. 33 is located between towers 18 and 19 of the northern city defensive wall in the central part of the curtain, at a height of 1.5 m. It has poor preservation. But, nevertheless, its text is restored from the preserved fragments of letters and by analogy with other inscriptions similar in content. The inscription is three-line, vertical. Reconstructible text: [Da]r[iuš ī] Ā[durbādagān] ām[ārgar]. Inscription No. 34 is located between towers 14 and 15 of the northern wall, at a height of 2.15-2.6 m. The inscription is vertical, three-line, separate letters and parts of letters are preserved, and its text is reconstructed according to the surviving letters and analogies with other inscriptions. Its text reads: Dari[u]š ī [Ādurbādag]ān ām[ā]rgar. Both inscriptions are composed on behalf of the āmārgar – a high official, chief financier and tax inspector of the vast Adurbadagan area, which during the reign of Shahanshah Khosrow I Anushirvan (531-579) included not only Adurbadagan proper, but all the Caucasian possessions of Sasanian Iran up to Derbent. The newly discovered inscriptions No. 33 and No. 34 belong to the subgroup b, group 1 of the Middle Persian inscriptions of Derbent, which represents the inscriptions of āmārgar Dariush. Now 19 (out of 34) inscriptions compiled on his behalf are already known, and all of them are carved on the northern wall of the city, where a total of 24 inscriptions are located.

Sinhala Inscriptions are used as one of the major sources of getting information about ancient Sri Lanka. Revealing the Information from these inscriptions becomes a huge challenge for archeologists. This research paper focused on Sinhala character recognition in ancient Sri Lankan inscription. Our intention is to ease this process by developing a web based application that enable recognition of inscription characters through scanned images and store them in an inscription database. Using this system people can track geographical location of inscriptions. Epigraphist could be able to easily obtain Sinhala interpretation of Sri Lankan inscriptions via the optical character recognition feature in our system. Our work on this research project provides benefits to researchers in archaeology field, epigraphists and general public who are interested in this subject. Inscription site tracking module will present a map that user can go around easily by tracking the locations of inscriptions. This paper presents the Architecture for this Sinhala Epigraphy system.

Abstract:
The great significance of ancient inscription is that it becomes evidence of that historical period. Approximately 170 runic inscriptions, date back to Old Turkic, Uighur period, had been registered in the territory of Mongolia so far. Govi-Altai runic inscriptions are located along the central road headed from Beshbalik to west southern until silk road in the period of Ancient Turkic, Uighur and they play important role in the studies of philology and history since they have many state and military ranking words and personal names. In this article, reading-lexical features and relevant Tamgas of 18 inscriptions discovered in Govi-Altai province have been studied. As of today, a total of 18 Runic inscriptions were discovered in 7 places from this province. The Biger’s 4 inscriptions had been discovered in 1969 for the first time by team “Inscription studies” of the Mongol-Soviet’s history and culture’s joint expedition, whereas our team discovered Davirt II inscription in 2020, and also research team from Institute of Archaeology, Academy of Sciences discovered Khushuut Tolgoi’s inscription. The research team completed a hand painting of 95 Tamgas related to these inscriptions.

Abstract:
In this paper, eleven new inscriptions are presented, which were found between 1981 and 2017 at Assos in the southern Troad, Asia Minor. Funerary inscriptions that can be dated to the Late Antique and Byzantine periods constitute the majority of the inscriptions found during the period defined above. The first inscription, carved on a lintel, is an acclamation of the Lord/ Emmanouel. The personal name Chrysogonos in the second inscription may have been the name of a stonecutter who worked in the quarry. The third inscription is the epitaph of the gravediggers of the Orthodox “Great Church”. By the phrase “Great Church” (μεγάλη ἐκκλησία), a cathedral must have been intended, located inside the city or its immediate surroundings. The fourth inscription presented here is the sarcophagus inscription of the heirs of an individual called Daniel. The fifthis the sarcophagus inscription of Theoktistos. The inscriptions nos. 6-10 from the oor of Ayazma Church include several sarcophagus inscriptions: No. 6 is of Bas(s)os, no. 7 is of Eutychianos, and no. 8 is of Onesimos, whose father’s name is uncertain due to a crack and damage on the surface of the stone. No. 9 is the sarcophagus of presbyter Anastasios, and no. 10 is the sarcophagus of Eugenios. The eleventh inscription is a fragmentary sarcophagus inscription.

Abstract:
This thesis considers the condition of homelessness through its marginal position against society. Exteriority is often perceived as an abnormal state to be resolved through assimilation. To investigate it in its relationship with the inside, as opposites in a field of interaction, implies a constant state of reaction and change, instead of one that rests in a resolution. The thesis takes this form of continuous shifting between perspectives, media, scale of interaction, and locations, both physical and psychological. Its journey constitutes a search for a middle ground between absolute power and absolute freedom, interiority and exteriority, and an exploration into the possibilities for interaction in this strange and uncertain place.

Through this strategy, the thesis removes the issue of homelessness from the conventional framework of an economical problem, to understand it instead as an existential reality. Homelessness becomes an experience that involves real people and unseen identities; the shifts in the form of this work reflect the subtle idiosyncracies that arise from this subjective reading. In its exteriority, homelessness is related to the psychoanalytical notion of otherness: a quality that is emotional and uncontrolled, and exists outside of social laws. As a threat to public order, this quality is undesireable within society. Thus, the Other is an identity that becomes subjugated and hidden through the exercize of power. The thesis relies on established ideas, including Michel Foucault's exposure of this social repression, R. D. Laing's empathetic perception of ontological insecurity, and Julia Kristeva's essay on abjection, to give context to its ambiguous subject. Set against the tentative narration and notation of lived experiences, they seek to uncover the subjective identity of the Other, and to grasp the significance of his expulsion from the interior. The intention of this work is not to judge, or to implement solutions. Rather, it is passive and receptive, and exists largely in the mere confrontation of this estranged condition.

Out of this confrontation, the voices that were buried begin to emerge and assert themselves. Narrative, criticism, design, and visual essay become the vehicles that convey these voices and the multiplicity of their existential experiences, forming a reality from that which was previously invisible to the objective city. This mapping is a construction of displaced identities. The synthesis of these elements exposes the grounds for the possibility of new connections between individuals.

Abstract:
Phrygian is a fragmentary Indo-European language recorded in inscriptions found mainly in central Anatolia, dated to between ca. 800 BC and the 3rd century AD. The main objective of this dissertation is to provide a comprehensive analysis of all the Phrygian words attested in these Phrygian inscriptions, using a dictionary structure. The result is an overview of the preserved Phrygian lexicon. Although the Phrygian texts are classified as belonging to one of three stages on the basis of chronology, linguistic features, script and contents (Old Phrygian, Middle Phrygian and New Phrygian), the whole lexicon has been compiled in a single dictionary. Before dealing with the main objective, a catalogue of all the known Phrygian inscriptions was created. Although the Old Phrygian inscriptions were collected by Brixhe and Lejeune (with Brixhe’s supplements), other inscriptions not considered in their corpus have been included here. An editio maior of the all New Phrygian inscriptions is still lacking and a complete catalogue was needed. Our work on the Phrygian language therefore began with the compilation of this catalogue. The middle stage of Phrygian is essentially attested by a single large epitaph, well edited by Brixhe. Consequently, this dissertation also offers a catalogue of the Phrygian inscriptions on which the study of the lexicon is based. Also addressed are the value of some letters of the Phrygian alphabet, used in the first stage of the language, and the segmentation of the inscriptions which employ scriptio continua. Once these preliminary problems have been dealt with, each segmented word is analysed, under one lemma when multiple forms are attested. Together with morphological analysis and examination of context, prior studies are corroborated by the current knowledge of Phrygian, when possible. Information from other fields such as Ancient Greek, the Anatolian languages and general Indo- European studies is also considered. Indeed, the comparative method is essential in this work, although context is constantly consulted in order to avoid purely etymological speculations. Innovative, personal contributions are often given, although many words remain unexplained because of the fragmentation of the inscriptions and the noteworthy abundance of hapax. After the detailed study of each word, a short grammar is built on the basis of the lexicon; this chapter is offered as an updated introduction to the Phrygian language.
El frigi és una llengua indoeuropea fragmentària documentada per inscripcions trobades al centre d’Anatòlia des d’aproximadament el 800 a.C. fins al s. III d.C. L’objectiu d’aquesta tesi doctoral és oferir una anàlisi completa de tots els mots documentats en aquestes inscripcions en forma de diccionari per a tenir una visió de conjunt del que s’ha preservat de la llengua frígia. Malgrat la divisió dels textos frigis en tres estadis prou diferenciats (paleofrigi, frigi mitjà i neofrigi) tant pel que fa a llur cronologia, trets lingüístics, com l’escriptura emprada i els continguts dels texts, tot el material ha estat distribuït en un únic diccionari. Abans de procedir a aquest estudi, però, s’ha confeccionat un recopilació́ de totes les inscripcions conegudes. Si bé en el cas del paleofrigi aquest a feina fou feta de forma exemplar per Brixhe i Lejeune (i els suplements posteriors de Brixhe), s’han incorporat algunes altes inscripcions. Per altra banda, la situació de les inscripcions neofrígies era més precària per la manca d’un corpus actualitzat, motiu pel qual començàrem la nostra intervenció en aquest punt. L’estadi intermedi consisteix bàsicament en un llarg epitafi ben editat per Brixhe. El resultat és un catàleg crític de les inscripcions frígies (ofert a la mateixa tesi) que serveix de base per a l’estudi lexicogràfic. Altres dificultats prèvies encarades són el valor d’algunes lletres de l’alfabet frigi, emprat en el primer estadi de la llengua, i la segmentació de les mateixes inscripcions en què es fa ús de la scriptio continua. Una vegada considerades aquestes qüestions prèvies, s’ha procedit a analitzar cada un dels segments, agrupats sota un mateix lemma en cas de tenir vàries formes d’un mateix mot. Juntament amb una anàlisi morfològica i contextual i, sempre que sigui possible, es consideren les anàlisis anteriors confrontant-les amb el coneixement actual del frigi, el grec antic, l’anatolística i la indoeuropeística en general. El mètode històric comparatiu és essencial en aquesta tasca, si bé el context és constantment considerat per a evitar especulacions purament etimològiques. Sovint, aquest lèxic ofereix noves interpretacions pròpies, encara que per mor de la fragmentació i els hàpax són molts els mots dels quals ben poca cosa es pot dir. Després d’un estudi detallat de cada mot, s’ofereix també un buidatge de les dades que se’n poden extreure en forma de petita gramàtica frígia que serveix com a introducció actualitzada a aquesta llengua.

Full text
Abstract:
The goal of this thesis is the phonological analysis of a corpus of runic inscriptions in order to reconstruct the vocalic system(s) of the West Germanic dialects spoken in the Continental interior between the 5th-7th centuries A.D. The thesis presents a brief outline of the late Proto-Germanic vocalic system and of the principal sound changes involved in the development of the later dialects of the region (Old High German and Old Saxon). The main part of the thesis surveys the data retrievable from the runic inscriptions in an attempt to determine to what extent (if any) these sound changes are in evidence. In many respects, the data are consistent with the anticipated developments attested in OHG and OS; but for some of the sound changes – particularly those affecting the diphthongs – the existing models do not satisfactorily account for the data. There is also some evidence for processes not normally identified in accounts of the phonological background of the later dialects. The project endeavours to be rigorously empirical in approach; to avoid making unnecessary assumptions and prejudgements about the nature and content of the runic texts; and to resist the rejection of an interpretation unless it can be shown to be implausible. From this standpoint, we are confronted with the limited power of any conclusions based on such a small dataset, and with the more general problem of the imperfect correlation between written and spoken forms. If the makers of runic inscriptions cannot be relied on for phonological accuracy or orthographic consistency, to what extent is it possible to make inferences about spoken language from the texts which they created?

Abstract:
In the previous years, 3D imaging has found his way into the world of Egyptology. This lecture will present two case studies where 3D technology is used for the documentation of hieratic inscriptions. The inscriptions, painted in (red) ochre or black paint, were applied on different carriers, and required a different methodology. The Egyptian collection of the Royal Museums of Art and History (RMAH Brussels) contains a large number of small decorated and/or inscribed objects. Some of these objects are currently in a bad condition - any operation carried on them can result in considerable material losses -, making it necessary to document them in such a way that it allows future scholars to study them in detail without handling them. The EES Project therefore aims to create multispectral 3D images of these fragile objects with a multispectral ‘minidome’ acquisition system, based on the already existing system of the multi-light Portable Light Dome (PLD). The texture/colour values on the created 2D+ and 3D models are interactive data based on a recording process with infrared, red, green, blue, and ultraviolet light spectra. Software tools and enhancement filters have been developed which can deal with the different wavelengths in real-time. This leads to an easy and cost-effective methodology which combines multispectral imaging with the actual relief characteristics and properties of the physical object. The system is transportable to any collection or excavation in the field. As a case study, the well-known Brussels “Execration Figurines” (Middle Kingdom, c. 1900 BC) were chosen. These figurines are made of unbaked clay and covered with hieratic texts, listing names of foreign countries and rulers. The study of this type of collections is mostly hampered by the poor state of conservation of the objects, but also by the only partial preservation of the ink traces in visible light. The method has also been applied to other decorated objects of the RMAH collection, such as a Fayoum portrait, ostraca and decorated objects made of stone, wood and ceramics. The final goal will be to publish the newly created multispectral 3D images on Carmentis (www.carmentis.be), the online catalogue of the RMAH collection, making them accessible to scholars all over the world. The second case study presents the quarry inscriptions of the New Kingdom limestone quarries at Dayr Abu Hinnis (Middle Egypt). These gallery quarries contain hundreds of hieratic inscriptions, written on the ceiling. The texts are mainly related to the general administration of the quarry area. In documenting the abundance of ceiling inscriptions and other graffiti, we had to decide upon a practice that would allow not only to capture the \"content\", but also to document the location and orientation of each record. Every inscription can be photographed in detail, but this is insufficient to provide the reader access to vital information concerning the spatial distribution of the inscriptions, which may, for instance, relate to the progress of work. After experimenting with a variety of other methods, we adopted a photogrammetric software for 3D modelling photographs of the quarry ceilings, AGISOFT PHOTOSCAN, which uses structure from motion (SFM) algorithms to create three-dimensional images based on a series of overlapping two-dimensional images. The ultimate goal of this whole labour-intensive process in the quarries is not the creation of pure threedimensional models, but rather to generate an orthophoto of the entire ceiling of a quarry. Based on these images, each graffito could be analysed in context.

L'objet d'étude de cette recherche concerne les inscriptions graphiques désignées sous le nom de tag et apparues au début des années quatre-vingt en France. Relevant à la fois, de problématique linguistique de par sa relation au nom et à la signature, de problématique de l'image par son attrait visuel et spacial par son inscription dans les lieux publics urbains, le tag au carrefour de pratique humaine et sociale nous invite à ré-interroger l'écrit ou du moins le "faire scriptural" autrement. La pratique scripturale taguée comme objet d'étude ne peut être appréhendée uniquement sous l'angle sociologique. Système non clos, le tag implique dans son fonctionnement des relations avec d'autres systèmes pour mieux en saisir sa portée, dans une démarche interdisciplinaire (intersémiotique). . .

Abstract:
Traditional monuments are repositories of various types of inscriptions including both epigraphs and epitaphs and are a means for gaining knowledge about historical facts and events. Inscriptions have associated historical and intellectual value, and therefore, need to be identified and digitized in order to preserve these intellectual assets and make their knowledge content accessible at a global level. This chapter is an attempt towards identification, documentation, and creation of a digital collection of stone inscriptions available in various monumental structures at Srinagar. The work mainly involves identification of historical monuments in Srinagar with a rich inscription collection. These inscriptions constitute an important addition to the corpus of known historical texts from different historical time periods. The study analyses their content and attempts to provide associated metadata and related information about each identified inscription by collecting data through reading the inscriptions, discussions and consultations with concierge and local people, and by consulting other secondary sources pertaining to such inscriptions. High definition digital cameras were used to capture images. Greenstone Digital Library Software was used for managing the digital collection for preserving and disseminating the historical facts available in the form of inscriptions which forms a means for bridging the void between known and unknown facts about our social, historical, and cultural aspects.

Abstract:
The poetry inscription, with Bai Juyi in the Middle Tang Era as its representative, began to express purely personal emotions in terms of content, which reflects the poet’s creative individuality. Bai takes stone as his friend, loves it, chants it, and inscribes poems on it, endowing it natural and personal qualities. Bai was the first poet to consciously combine “poetry” and “stone” with nearly 20 kinds of poetry inscriptions. Compared with book documents, Bai’s poetry inscriptions not only have the philological value of text criticism, but also have multiple functions, i. e., reproducing the historical context of poetry creation and transmitting as a “linguistic landscape”. Such humanistic connotation determines the significance of Bai’s poetry inscription in the history of Chinese literature and culture.

Abstract:
К настоящему времени лапидарий Фанагории насчитывает (с учетом публикуемых) 100 древнегреческих надписей. Для 1000-летней истории крупного античного города эта цифра выглядит весьма незначительной. Пять новых надписей из раскопок Фанагории в 2019 и 2021 гг. представлены в статье. Надпись № 1 вырезана на небольшом мраморном прямоугольном блоке и датируется концом 1 в. до н. э. – первой половиной 1 в. н. э. Сохранилась правая часть трехстрочной надписи. Внешний вид мраморного блока с надписью дает основание предполагать, что он служил основанием для вотивного приношения (небольшой статуэтки?). Надпись на нем была, видимо, посвятительной, имя божества располагалось в начале надписи и не сохранилось. После имени божества вырезаны имена и отчества трех дедикантов. Полностью сохранилось отчество последнего посвятителя – Батий. Надпись № 2 представляет собой остатки шести строк на правой стороне мраморной плиты. Надпись неясного содержания и датируется второй половиной 2 в. н. э. Предполагается восстановления нескольких личных имен. Надпись № 3 вырезана на колонне серого мрамора и содержит посвящение Богу Высочайшему неким Юлием (полное имя не сохранилось). Оно датируется 60-ми – началом 70-х годов 2 в. н. э. Посвящение Богу Высочайшему встречено в Фанагории впервые, несмотря на широкое распространение этого монотеистического культа в крупных боспорских городах в 2–3 вв. н. э. Надпись № 4 вырезана на блоке мраморовидного известняка значительного размера. Она датируется 217 г. б. э. и поставлена от имени общины Агриппии (быв. Фанагории). Внушительные размеры блока позволяют думать, что блок был частью какого-то городского сооружения, и надпись на нем была, по всей видимости, строительной. Надпись № 5 вырезана на мраморной плите и представляет собой фрагмент, по мнению автора, строительной надписи царя Рескупорида II (210–227 гг.). В надписи, предположительно, сообщается о восстановительных работах городских стен, башен и их фундаментов. Эти работы были осуществлены попечением эпимелета, чье имя не сохранилось. Today, Phanagoria’s lapidarium has a hundred ancient Greek inscriptions, including the ones published here. Considering the thousand-year history of a large ancient city, this amount seems very small. Five new inscriptions coming from excavations at Phanagoria in 2019 and 2021 are discussed in this article. Inscription 1 is carved on a small rectangular marble block and dates to the end of the I century BC – first half of the I century AD. The right part of the three-line inscription has been preserved. The appearance of the marble block with the inscription suggests that it served as the basis for a votive offering or, maybe, a small statuette. Apparently, the inscription was a dedicatory one. The name of the deity was located at the beginning of the inscription and is not preserved. After the deity’s name, names and patronymics of three dedicants are carved. The patronymic of the last initiator, Bates, has been fully preserved. Inscription 2 represents the remains of six lines on the right side of a marble slab. The in scription’s content is unclear. It dates between the second half of the second century AD. Several names are expected to be read on the inscription. Inscription 3 is carved on a grey marble column and contains a dedication to the Most High God by a certain Julius (his full name has not been preserved). It dates back to the 60–70 AD. A dedication to the Most High God is seen in Phanagoria for the first time, despite the wide spread of this monotheistic cult in large Bosporan cities in the second–third centuries AD. Inscription 4 is carved on a block of marble-like limestone of a rather big size. It dates back to 217 CE and was erected by the community of Agrippia (former Phanagoria). The impressive size of the block suggests that the block was part of an urban structure, and the inscription on it was, apparently, related to construction. Inscription 5 is carved on a marble slab. It is only preserved fragmentary. According to the article’s author, it is a part of a building inscription of King Reskuporides II (210–227 AD). The inscription, presumably, talks about the restoration work of the city walls, towers and their foundations. These works were carried out under the care of epimeletos, whose name has not been preserved.

Abstract:
The author is publishing a fragment of new Greek inscription on marble found by accident on the place of the settlement on the Cape of Zyk (the ancient Bosporan town of Chersonesus of Zeno). It is a part of a decision or decree of thiasotoi – members of voluntary association. It was adopted by the priest, the paraphilagathos and the gymnasiarchos whose names are unfortunately lost except two letters in the priest’s name Pe(….) and three letters in the gymnasiarchos’ farther’s name (…)ean(…). The latter is restored as personal male name {Th}ean(gelos)? popular among members of the Bosporan associations in Imperial period. We now have five inscriptions from Chersonesus of Zeno which belong to the associations of its citizens. Their study allowed the author to attribute all of them to one and the same thiasos which was active in course of the 2-3rd centuries AD and united the inhabitants of this town, mostly the Greeks by origin. Besides publishing the newly discovered document the author corrects the early suggested reading and interpretation of three other inscriptions from Chersonesus of Zeno. He admits that two separated pieces – one earlier attributed as the official decree or a letter of king Cotys III and dated to the time of his reign, and the second one, defined as a list of the thiasotoi, are in fact two fragments of one inscription – edict of the Zenonites’ association, ad opted in the time of Cotys III by the head of the union, presumably the synodos with the priest and probably the parahilagathos at the head. He also gives a vast commentary to other inscriptions – one mentions “the father of synodos”, and the other which is a list of thiasos’ members. He corrects the reading of one of the names in this list to be restored as (Pol)yaenos but not as Hroxenos. The association in Chersonesus of Zeno stands close to the associations of Panticapaeum and Tanais. The author made a complete study of the organization, activity, logistics and policy of the Bosporan associations towards the royal power, having admitted that synodoi could hardly be separate voluntary or alternative unions at Bosporus. They were initially sacred groups in the thiasoi but later, since the late 1 – 2nd century AD, started to function as their praesidium, i.e. head or council of associations, which included members of high position.

Full text
Abstract:
Verdicts returned by modern courts of justice in the context of sovereign debt lawsuits have upheld a ratable (proportional) interpretation of so-called “pari passu” clauses in debt contracts which, literally, promise creditors they will be dealt with equitably. Such verdicts have given individual creditors the right to interfere with payments to others, in situation where the sovereign had failed to make proportional payments. Contract originalists argue that this interpretation of pari passu clauses has no historical foundation. Historically, they claim, pari passu clauses never granted individual creditors a unilateral right to block payments to other bondholders assenting to a government debt restructuring proposal. This article shows this claim is incorrect. Drawing on novel archival research, it argues that pari passu clauses find one potent historical origin in the operation of a now forgotten sovereign bankruptcy tribunal, the London stock exchange. Under the law of the stock exchange, departure from ratable payments did create a unilateral right for individual creditors to interfere with sovereign debt discharges. In fact, ratable distributions provided the touchstone for the stock exchange sanctioned sovereign debt discharge system. What is more, sophisticated contract drafters availed themselves of the logic. The result was a weaponization of pari passu clauses, and their inscription into sovereign debt covenants in the 19th century. The article concludes that the modern debate on the role of clauses in sovereign debt contracts cannot be held without thorough reconsideration of the history of sovereign bankruptcy.
