EPC Exhibit 137-9.4 May 9, 2014 the LIBRARY of CONGRESS Dewey EPC Exhibit 137-9.4 May 9, 2014 THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS Dewey Section To: Jonathan Furner, Chair Decimal Classification Editorial Policy Committee Cc: Members of the Decimal Classification Editorial Policy Committee Karl E. Debus-López, Chief, U.S. Programs, Law, and Literature Division From: Michael Panzer, Editor in Chief Winton E. Matthews, Consulting Assistant Editor Dewey Decimal Classification OCLC Online Computer Library Center, Inc. Re: Greece On January 1, 2011, in accordance with the Kallikratis plan (Law 3852/2010), the former system of 13 regions, 54 departments, and 1033 municipalities and communities was replaced by 7 decentralized administrations, 13 regions, and 325 municipalities. The regions are divided into regional units, usually but not always coterminous with the former departments. The biggest differences are 1) former Cyclades department became nine regional units and 2) former Dodecanese department became four regional units. Other than the regional unit of Aetolia and Acarnania, which already has its own Table 2 notation at —49518, we decided that a specific Table 2 notation for the other regional units would not be provided for in the English-language version of the DDC. Thus, there are no expansions. (If in the future there is a new Greek-language version of the DDC, a specific Table 2 notation for each regional unit could be provided.) (Information about the change can be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Administrative_divisions_of_Greece.) The major changes are: 1) The comprehensive notation for each decentralized administration is given. If the decentralized administration contains more than one region, the * footnote about specific parts is used. 2) The name of a previous department is changed from “[English version of name] department ([transliterated Greek version of name] nome)” to: regional unit of [English version of name] (Periphereiake Henoteta [transliterated Greek version of name]). 3) In the previous version, the departments of̄ Atticā region were not given in the including note. The regional units of Attica region are given in the including note. 4) The new regional unit of Sporades is given in the including note at T2—4954. 5) The new regional unit of Ithaca is given in the including note at T2—4955. 1 6) Mount Athos is an autonomous monastic state, not part of the Central Macedonia region. At T2—49565, “Mount Athos (Autonomous Monastic State of the Holy Mountain, Aftonomi Monastiki Politia Agiou Orous)” is added to the heading, and “Mount Athos” was deleted from the class-here note. 7) In Edition 20, the development for Greece was completely revised. At that time, T2—4958 was introduced with the following development: —4958 Former Aegean Islands region (Aigaio Nēsoi periphereia) Class here *Aegean Islands, *Sporades See also —16388 for Aegean Sea (Option: Class here Aegean Islands to 323, Sporades to 323; prefer —391) “*Aegean Islands (Aigaio Nēsoi)” is now the heading. “*Aegean Islands” was deleted from the class-here note. 8) The new regional units of Ikaria and Lemnos are given in the including note at T2—4954. 9) The previous Cyclades department became nine regional units. This change is reflected in the revised T2—49585. All of the new units consist of islands that are part of the Cyclades. 10) The previous Dodecanese department became four regional units. This change is reflected in the revised T2—49587. All of the new units consist of islands that are part of the Dodecanese. John Topping of the Library of Congress helped with the transliteration of the Greek names. Sporades Given the creation of a regional unit with the name of Sporades, which is located at T2—4954, there will be confusion with the island group with the name of Sporades, which is located at T2—4958. To distinguish between the two Sporades, “(island group)” was added after “Sporades” at T2—4958. Prior to this revision, the index term of “Sporades (Greece)” referred to the group of islands and was indexed to T2—4958. As part of the reorganization of the administrative units, the regional unit of Sporades was created within the Thessaly region T2—4954. If a country qualifier could refer to both an administrative unit and a geographical area or feature, the qualifier with only the country name would refer to the administrative unit, i.e., Administrative unit (Country). The qualifier for the geographic area or feature would give the type of geographical area or feature as part of the qualifier, i.e., Feature (Country : Feature). Therefore, the index term of “Sporades (Greece)” is now associated with the regional unit. The revision introduces the index term of “Sporades (Greece : Islands)” which is 2 associated with the group of islands. The following gives the proposed index entries: Sporades (Greece) T2—495 4 ancient T2—391 Sporades (Greece : Islands) T2—495 8 ancient T2—391 Index The index entries reflect the above changes with the following actions: 1) If the qualifier for the nome is “(Greece)”, the actions are: If there is not a city with the same name, there is no change to the index entry. If there is a city with the same name, the qualifier is changed to “(Greece : Regional unit)”. For example: Arta (Greece : Regional unit) T2—495 3 2) If the qualifier for the nome is “(Greece : Nome)”, the qualifier is changed to “(Greece : Regional unit)”. For example: Canea (Greece : Nome) T2—495 9 Canea (Greece : Regional unit) T2—495 9 3) New entries are provided for the new regional units and decentralized administrations. If there is no other administrative unit, especially a city, with the same name, the qualifier is “(Greece)”. If there is another administrative unit with the same name, the qualifier is “(Greece : Regional unit)” or “(Greece : Decentralized administration)”. The codes of P (proposed) and Ia (LCSH) are shown in the proposed revision of the index. Please see above for the discussion about the indexing of Sporades. Crete The term Crete refers to both an island and an administrative region. Both meanings are classed in the same Table 2 numbers: T2—3918 and T2—4959. The problem is that the current index entry of “Crete (Greece)” is only for the administrative region. This revision introduces the index entry of “Crete (Greece : Island)”. The subentry “ancient” is now also under “Crete (Greece : Island)”. The resulting index entries are Crete (Greece) T2—495 9 ancient T2—391 8 Crete (Greece : Island) T2—495 9 ancient T2—391 8 3 Dodecanese and Imbros Island If a geographic feature is entirely within the boundaries of a country, the feature is qualified with “(Country)”. That qualifier is missing from the entries for “Dodecanese” and “Imbros Island”. The qualifier has been added, and the entries are now “Dodecanese (Greece)” and “Imbros Island (Turkey)”. Ionian Islands The term Ionian Islands refers to both a group of islands and an administrative region. Both meanings are classed in the same Table 2 numbers: T2—382 and T2—4955. The problem is that the current index entry of “Ionian Islands (Greece)” is only for the administrative region. This revision introduces the index entry of “Ionian Islands (Greece : Islands)”. The subentry “ancient” is now also under “Ionian Islands (Greece : Islands)”. The resulting index entries are: Ionian Islands (Greece) T2—495 5 ancient T2—382 Ionian Islands (Greece : Islands) T2—495 5 ancient T2—382 Peloponnēsos and Peloponnesus The current indexing for Peloponnēsos and Peloponnesus follows: Peloponnēsos (Greece) T2—495 2 Peloponnēsos (Greece : Periphereia) T2—495 22 Peloponnesus (Greece) T2—495 2 ancient T2—386 Peloponnesus (Greece : Periphereia) T2—495 22 The problem is that the qualifier for the administrative region should be (Greece), not (Greece : Periphereia), and the qualifier for the peninsula should be (Greece : Peninsula), not (Greece). From the LC Name Authority record for Peloponnēsos (Greece): This heading is used for works on the administrative region of Greece. Works on the peninsula containing the administrative region Peloponnēsos and parts of Attikē and Dytikē Hellada are entered under the subject heading Peloponnesus (Greece : Peninsula). The subentry “ancient” is now also under “Peloponnesus (Greece : Peninsula)”. 4 The revised indexing follows: Peloponnēsos (Greece) T2—495 22 Peloponnēsos (Greece : Peninsula) T2—495 2 Peloponnesus (Greece) T2—495 22 ancient T2—386 Peloponnesus (Greece : Peninsula) T2—495 2 ancient T2—386 5 T2 T2 —38 *Greece to 323 Class here comprehensive works on Greece and Roman Empire; the *eastern Mediterranean region to 323; the *Hellenistic World; *southern Europe to 323 For Roman Empire, see —37 (Option: Class eastern Mediterranean region to 323 in —18224; class southern Europe to 323 in —4; class Greece to 323 in —495) —381 Macedonia to 323 For modern country of Macedonia to ca. 640, see —39876 (Option: Class Macedonia to 323 in —4956.

  • Genetics of the Peloponnesean Populations and the Theory of Extinction of the Medieval Peloponnesean Greeks
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2017) 25, 637–645 Official journal of The European Society of Human Genetics www.nature.com/ejhg ARTICLE Genetics of the peloponnesean populations and the theory of extinction of the medieval peloponnesean Greeks George Stamatoyannopoulos*,1, Aritra Bose2, Athanasios Teodosiadis3, Fotis Tsetsos2, Anna Plantinga4, Nikoletta Psatha5, Nikos Zogas6, Evangelia Yannaki6, Pierre Zalloua7, Kenneth K Kidd8, Brian L Browning4,9, John Stamatoyannopoulos3,10, Peristera Paschou11 and Petros Drineas2 Peloponnese has been one of the cradles of the Classical European civilization and an important contributor to the ancient European history. It has also been the subject of a controversy about the ancestry of its population. In a theory hotly debated by scholars for over 170 years, the German historian Jacob Philipp Fallmerayer proposed that the medieval Peloponneseans were totally extinguished by Slavic and Avar invaders and replaced by Slavic settlers during the 6th century CE. Here we use 2.5 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms to investigate the genetic structure of Peloponnesean populations in a sample of 241 individuals originating from all districts of the peninsula and to examine predictions of the theory of replacement of the medieval Peloponneseans by Slavs. We find considerable heterogeneity of Peloponnesean populations exemplified by genetically distinct subpopulations and by gene flow gradients within Peloponnese. By principal component analysis (PCA) and ADMIXTURE analysis the Peloponneseans are clearly distinguishable from the populations of the Slavic homeland and are very similar to Sicilians and Italians. Using a novel method of quantitative analysis of ADMIXTURE output we find that the Slavic ancestry of Peloponnesean subpopulations ranges from 0.2 to 14.4%.

  • A Bronze Pail of Athena Alalkomenia
    A BRONZE PAIL OF ATHENA ALALKOMENIA (PLATES 31-34) T HE remarkable archaic Greek bronze vessel published here (P1. 31, a) was l.4 purchased in Mantinea in Arcadia in the spring of 1957 and donated to the Museum in Tegea where other antiquities from the same region have their abode. It had been found by a local shepherd some distance to the north of the ruins of Man- tinea but, unfortunately, the exact location of the discovery could not be ascertained.' The major part of the vessel is preserved, including about half of its upper profiled edge and one attachment for the handle which passed through its upper ring. The whole of this ring is still filled with iron and it is evident that the missing handle was made of this material. The carefully proportioned body has a height of 0.241 m. to the upper edge of the lip. Its largest diameter, 0.215 m., is slightly smaller than the total height and exactly the same both at the outer edge of the lip and at the greatest width of the body which, in turn, occurs precisely half way between that edge and the bottom of the vessel, 0.12 m. distant from both. The upper face of the lip inclines outward slightly to allow overspilling liquid to run off, as it were, from an architectural cornice. The proportion of diameter to height, the rounded bottom and the contraction of the width under the lip combine to give the impression of an elastic curvilinear rhythm to the generally ovoid form.

  • INSCRIPTIONS from ATTICA 27 Inscriptions
    INSCRIPTIONSFROM ATTICA (PLATE 15: b, c, d) JTN THE course of the years 1947, 1948, and 1949 the undersignedhave made a series of excursions in Attica, as time and their other duties permitted, for the purpose of making squeezes of inscriptions in the outlying areaS-for the collection at the Institute for Advanced Study. Among the many inscriptions already known, a few new pieces turned up which we publish below. We add also a few comments on some previously published texts. 1. Dedication to Pythian Apollo (Plate 15, b) Church of the Panagia, Merenda, southeast of Markopoulo, site of the ancient deme of Myrrhinous. Found in June 1948 lying in front of the church where it had probably been at least since 1929 to judge by the graffito on the face. Probably dis- covered somewhere in the immediate neighborhood. Brought to the Epigraphical Museum, Athens, March 1949; now E.M. 13,120. The stone is a rectangular pillar of Hymettian marble which tapers slightly towards the top. It is broken below and it has been re-worked above at the back to a rough curving surface as if someone had started to make it into a capital for the window column of a church. The sides are dressed with a toothed chisel at the edges and are smooth picked at the center. The back is rough picked. The letters run vertically from top to bottom. The inscription is complete at the right (lower) end, and only a little is missing at the left (top) as the meter shows. The inscribed face is marred by a modern graffito consisting of the name Stelios Katroulis, the date 1929, a cross and a steamboat.

  • Ancient History Sourcebook: 11Th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA an Ancient City in Greece, the Capital of Laconia and the Most Powerful State of the Peloponnese
    Ancient History Sourcebook: 11th Brittanica: Sparta SPARTA AN ancient city in Greece, the capital of Laconia and the most powerful state of the Peloponnese. The city lay at the northern end of the central Laconian plain, on the right bank of the river Eurotas, a little south of the point where it is joined by its largest tributary, the Oenus (mount Kelefina). The site is admirably fitted by nature to guard the only routes by which an army can penetrate Laconia from the land side, the Oenus and Eurotas valleys leading from Arcadia, its northern neighbour, and the Langada Pass over Mt Taygetus connecting Laconia and Messenia. At the same time its distance from the sea-Sparta is 27 m. from its seaport, Gythium, made it invulnerable to a maritime attack. I.-HISTORY Prehistoric Period.-Tradition relates that Sparta was founded by Lacedaemon, son of Zeus and Taygete, who called the city after the name of his wife, the daughter of Eurotas. But Amyclae and Therapne (Therapnae) seem to have been in early times of greater importance than Sparta, the former a Minyan foundation a few miles to the south of Sparta, the latter probably the Achaean capital of Laconia and the seat of Menelaus, Agamemnon's younger brother. Eighty years after the Trojan War, according to the traditional chronology, the Dorian migration took place. A band of Dorians united with a body of Aetolians to cross the Corinthian Gulf and invade the Peloponnese from the northwest. The Aetolians settled in Elis, the Dorians pushed up to the headwaters of the Alpheus, where they divided into two forces, one of which under Cresphontes invaded and later subdued Messenia, while the other, led by Aristodemus or, according to another version, by his twin sons Eurysthenes and Procles, made its way down the Eurotas were new settlements were formed and gained Sparta, which became the Dorian capital of Laconia.

  • The Case of Chalkis
    Transactions of the American Philological Association 144 (2014) 263–306 Tax Exemption and Athenian Imperial Politics: The Case of Chalkis joshua d. sosin Duke University summary: This paper argues that the clause at IG I3 40.52–57, which refers to taxation of aliens at Chalkis and has long puzzled scholars, stipulated that any non-Chalkidian who had been granted immunity from Athenian tele, condi- tional on residence at Athens or not, should enjoy the same immunity from Chalkidian tele at Chalkis; that the inscription belongs to 424/3 b.c.e, when Athenian law and honorific practice were much concerned with taxation and immunities. Though long seen as fiscal punishment by a newly imperial Athens, the action was connected to later debates about local honors and domestic taxa- tion, and was rather mild. ig i3 40 preserves terms imposed by athens on chalkis, and on itself. the occasion is thought to be the aftermath of Euboian revolt in 446/5 or else Athenian action against the island in 424/3.1 This document is among our richest epigraphic witnesses to what it meant to be on the receiving end of Athenian imperialism.

  • Archaic Eretria
    ARCHAIC ERETRIA This book presents for the first time a history of Eretria during the Archaic Era, the city’s most notable period of political importance. Keith Walker examines all the major elements of the city’s success. One of the key factors explored is Eretria’s role as a pioneer coloniser in both the Levant and the West— its early Aegean ‘island empire’ anticipates that of Athens by more than a century, and Eretrian shipping and trade was similarly widespread. We are shown how the strength of the navy conferred thalassocratic status on the city between 506 and 490 BC, and that the importance of its rowers (Eretria means ‘the rowing city’) probably explains the appearance of its democratic constitution. Walker dates this to the last decade of the sixth century; given the presence of Athenian political exiles there, this may well have provided a model for the later reforms of Kleisthenes in Athens. Eretria’s major, indeed dominant, role in the events of central Greece in the last half of the sixth century, and in the events of the Ionian Revolt to 490, is clearly demonstrated, and the tyranny of Diagoras (c. 538–509), perhaps the golden age of the city, is fully examined. Full documentation of literary, epigraphic and archaeological sources (most of which have previously been inaccessible to an English-speaking audience) is provided, creating a fascinating history and a valuable resource for the Greek historian. Keith Walker is a Research Associate in the Department of Classics, History and Religion at the University of New England, Armidale, Australia.

  • The Ghikas House on Hydra: from Artists’ Haven to Enchanted Ruins
    The Ghikas House on Hydra: From Artists’ Haven to Enchanted Ruins HELLE VALBORG GOLDMAN Norwegian Polar Institute We sat on the terrace under the starry sky and talked about poetry, we drank wine, we swam, we rode donkeys, we played chess—it was like life in a novel. (Ghikas, quoted in Arapoglou 56) Introduction The Greek island of Hydra has become known for the colony of expatriate painters and writers that became established there in the 1950s and 60s (Genoni and Dalziell 2018; Goldman 2018). Two ‘literary houses,’ the homes of several of the island’s most well-known foreign residents during that era—the Australian couple, writers George Johnston and Charmian Clift, and Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen—have become places of pilgrimage for aficionados of Australian literature and popular music. Visitors wend through the maze of car- less, stone-paved lanes, asking for directions along the way, in order to stand outside the objects of their quests. Standing in the small public courtyard in front of the Johnstons’ house, or the tight laneway fronting the Cohen house, there is not much to see—the houses are quiet, the doors closed, the stone and white-washed walls surrounding the properties, which are typical of Hydra, are high. This doesn’t keep people from coming. They can picture in their minds’ eyes what is on the other side of the walls, having seen photographs of the writers at work and leisure inside the houses, and having read the books and listened to the songs that were written while the Johnstons and Cohen were in residence.

Each of them has something special to offer, and apart from the most popular such as Santorini, Mykonos and Crete there are a number of other islands which are less touristy, yet extremely beautiful and worth visiting. This trip takes you to islands ideal for those who don’t like tourist-packed places and who are feeling adventurous and want to discover destinations off the beaten path. It starts in Athens, and after visiting the Acropolis and the new Acropolis museum, we will hop on our ferry to Andros. It is the second-largest island of the Cyclades, with a long and proud seafaring tradition and a walker’s paradise. Its wild mountains are traversed by fertile valleys with bubbling streams and ancient stone mills. After spending three nights in Andros take the ferry to Tinos, a wonderland of natural beauty, dotted with more than forty marble-ornamented villages found in hidden bays, on terraced hillsides and atop misty mountains. For the last part of the trip spend a day in Syros, exploring Ermoupolis, the leading commercial and industrial center of Cyclades, as well as its main port, since it was founded in the 1820s.
