Research paper thumbnail of Seleucid Tablets from Uruk in the British Museum

Antichistica, 2018

This book offers an analysis of the collection, accompanied by text editions. The approach adopted is to explore the documents in three main thematic sections: arable land, urban properties, and temple prebends. The administrative texts have been treated as a group. Particular attention is paid to the role played by specific families, individuals or groups in each area of interest, as well as to shedding new light on the ownership patterns and business strategies that characterised the activities of the parties to the documents.

Among them is that of Laodice, identifying either the wife of Antiochus II or the daughter of Antiochus III. The fame of the former in Babylonian documents is mainly connected to the endowment of royal land she made for the citizens of Babylon, Borsippa and Kutha, recorded in the so-called Lehmann text. While the name of the second Laodice is spelled in cuneiform as f lu-di-qé-e, 3) more variability characterizes the writings of the name of the Laodice married to Antiochus II, who is recorded in documents written between 245 and 140 BC as f lam-ú-di-qé-'e, f lu-da-qé-e or f lu-di-qé-e. 4) The recent publication of a tablet in the British Museum recording a duplicate copy of the so-called Lehmann text bears witness to the existence of a further spelling of the same name in addition to those collected by Monerie, i.e., f la-ú-di-qé-e. 5) A comparison of the different spellings for the name and the sources in which they occur appears in the

A comparison of the different spellings for the name and the sources in which they occur appears in the Table. Variability in transcribing Greek names into Babylonian comes as no surprise in cuneiform sources from the Hellenistic period. Writing Greek names in Babylonian, the scribes were confronted with a number of difficulties. First, the Babylonian language was written using a non-alphabetic system, lacking some of the necessary phonemes (e.g., the vowel 0, which had to be replaced with a different phoneme, usually wu). Second, at a time when the pronunciation of Greek no longer exactly corresponded to its written form, they apparently relied more frequently on the pronunciation of the name than on reproducing its written form in the original language. In this process individual preference played a major part, and the scribes could opt for a different subset of signs to render the same sequence of phonemes, according to how they heard them pronounced, which resulted in different outcomes for the same entry. The origins of the scribes may also have played a part in giving prominence to particular phonetic phenomena (such as assimilation),” and different kinds of document might have required of the scribes varying degrees of accuracy, depending on the audience for which the texts were composed.

and the Babylonian worlds became something more than intermittent. Cuneiform
sources bear multiple traces of what we may label a “Greek presence” in Babylonia.
Surveying the ample debate on the topic and through the analysis of a few selected
examples, the present paper aims at investigating what Greek elements in Babylonian
sources may tell us with regard to the forms and characteristics of the contact. Before
tackling the problem, the paper will explore terminology as a fi rst step in order to
set the basis for a fruitful dialogue between diff erent disciplines.

Una recente stima di Edzard ne censisce 33 esemplari su mattoni, oltre a numerose copie su supporti di altro genere (coni d'argilla, perni di porta, tavolette di pietra e di diorite, blocchi di calcare). Nel pubblicare il materiale relativo a Gudea lo studioso osservava che «more inscriptions, mostly duplicates, but also new ones, are liable to turn up, sooner or later anyhow»: è quasi in risposta alla sua previsione che è oggi possibile, grazie ai due pezzi conservati a Trieste, aggiornare il suo catalogo, portando il numero complessivo di esemplari dell'iscrizione da 1171 a 1173. 5

What do you do for a living? On names, professions and clan affiliation in Hellenistic Uruk (1st International BANANA conference: Babylonian Name and Name-Giving: What names tell us about social realities, KU Leuven, Arts Faculty 8-9.02.2016)

Individuals acting in legal and administrative records are typically identified by a three-tier onomastic chain, including the name of the individual, the patronym and the clan name. They seem to be the members of the urban notability of Uruk. Exceptions to this rule are represented, among others, by individuals identified through a two-tier expressions of filiation, complemented by a professional name; the lack of a family name is generally interpreted as an indication of non appartenance to the urban elite and the onomastics of some of those individuals seems to reveal a foreign origin for them.
The paper will try to cast new light on the interrelations between identification practices, ethnicity and professions in the corpus.
