In August 1992 Paul Mirecki and Marvin Meyer invited a series of colleagues from a variety of disciplines to an international conference, held at the Uni- versity of Kansas in Lawrence, Kansas, on “Magic in the Ancient World.” The scholars in attendance all addressed the phenomena of ancient magic and ritual power from the perspectives of their own disciplines, but they did so with a particular concern for the general issues of definition and taxonomy. From that conference there emerged a volume, edited by Meyer and Mirecki and published in 1995 by Brill, entitled Ancient Magic and Ritual Power. As noted in the introduction to the volume, “An understanding of ‘magic’ as ‘ritual power’ … permeates many of the essays in this volume” (4). The present volume comes from a similar scholarly conference. In August 1998 Meyer and Mirecki assembled the magoi once again— many of them the usual suspects—at a second international confer- ence, held at Chapman University in Orange, California, and the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity of Claremont Graduate Uni- versity in Claremont, California, on “Magic in the Ancient World.” (This conference was made possible through the generous support of the Griset Lectureship Fund and the Wang-Fradkin Professorship of Chapman University and the Coptic Magical Texts Project of the Institute for Antiquity and Christianity.) As at the Kansas conference, Jonathan Z. Smith delivered a plenary lecture, and the scholars at the California conference similarly employed the methods and perspec- tives of their disciplines to discuss ancient magic and ritual power. And as at the Kansas conference, the volume emerging from the conference, Magic and Ritual in the Ancient World, seeks to contribute to the continuing discussion of magic and ritual power in the ancient Near East, Judaism, Greco-Roman antiquity, and early Christianity, with an additional contribution on the world of Coptic and Islamic Egypt. The strength of the present volume, we suggest, lies in the breadth of scholarship represented. While, as in the previous volume, issues of description and classification are everywhere apparent or assumed in these essays (and especially in Part 2), and the understanding of magic MM 01 Voorwerk v3 9 16-11-2001, 12:09 as ritual power runs as a scholarly thread through the book, the essays themselves are remarkably wide-ranging in their approaches and con- cerns. Taken together, the essays thus provide an excellent glimpse of the status quaestionis of the study of magic and ritual power in Mediter- ranean and Near Eastern antiquity and late antiquity. * * * The essays in this volume are organized into six sections: 1) “New Texts of Magic and Ritual Power,” 2) “Definitions and Theory,” 3) “The Ancient Near East,” 4) “Judaism,” 5) “Greek and Roman An- tiquity,” and 6) “Early Christianity and Islam.” Part 1 presents four essays in which new magical texts and new interpretations are made available. In an essay entitled “A New Magical Formulary,” William Brashear and Roy Kotansky present the editio princeps of P. Berol. 17202. This fourth-century papyrus sheet from a magical handbook preserves six recipes in Greek: a Christian liturgical exorcism with historiolae focusing on Jesus’ miracles, a pagan invocation to silence opponents, a hymnic invocation, an adjuration with ritual procedures, a spell to achieve an erection, and a sacred stele termed the “second.” In “Two Papyri with Formulae for Divina- tion,” David Jordan improves upon two previously published papyri with formulae for divination (PGM XXIVa and LXXVII). The first involves a ritual with 29 palm leaves, each with the name of a god written upon it, and the other involves instructions for receiving an oracle through an invocation. In “An Early Christian Gold Lamella for Headache,” Roy Kotansky presents the editio princeps of a Greek text from a private collection in London. This second-century lamella may derive from a Hellenistic Jewish milieu that appropriated Jesus’ name for its magical purposes,

    LE PAYS DE COLOPHON (COLOPHON, CLAROS, NOTION) ET LES SÉLEUCIDES* PIERRE DEBORD** Résumé. – Plusieurs documents inédits viennent augmenter le dossier de la présence séleucide à Colophon. Ils fournissent le prétexte à un réexamen global du sujet. Abstract. – Several unpublished documents come to increase the file of the Seleucid presence in Colophon. They afford the opportunity for a global re-examination of this topic. Mots-clés. – Épigraphie grecque, Claros, époque hellénistique, Séleucides. * Je remercie Alain Bresson pour sa relecture critique d’une première version de cet article, Laurent Capdetrey et Patrice Hamon pour leurs observations pertinentes.

En tout cas, les bienfait qui sont prodigués très tôt au Didymeion démontrent toute l’attention portée par Séleucos Ier au sanctuaire et à la cité de Milet 2 avant même la concrétisation de son ascendant sur la région qui a lieu lorsque il prend le contrôle de l’Asie Mineure occidentale en 281 après la victoire de Kouroupédion 3. On peut aisément constater qu’il y a une dissymétrie complète, en l’état de notre information, entre les deux sanctuaires apolliniens.

The aS trap Of Western Anatolia And The Greeks Abstract This dissertation explores the extent to which Persian policies in the western satrapies originated from the provincial capitals in the Anatolian periphery rather than from the royal centers in the Persian heartland in the fifth ec ntury BC. I begin by establishing that the Persian administrative apparatus was a product of a grand reform initiated by Darius I, which was aimed at producing a more uniform and centralized administrative infrastructure. In the following chapter I show that the provincial administration was embedded with chancellors, scribes, secretaries and military personnel of royal status and that the satrapies were periodically inspected by the Persian King or his loyal agents, which allowed to central authorities to monitory the provinces. In chapter three I delineate the extent of satrapal authority, responsibility and resources, and conclude that the satraps were supplied with considerable resources which enabled to fulfill the duties of their office. After the power dynamic between the Great Persian King and his provincial governors and the nature of the office of satrap has been analyzed, I begin a diachronic scrutiny of Greco-Persian interactions in the fifth century BC.

Foreword erna brodber One afternoon when I was six and in standard 2, sitting quietly while the teacher, Mr. Grant, wrote our assignment on the blackboard, I heard a girl scream as if she were frightened. Mr. Grant must have heard it, too, for he turned as if to see whether that frightened scream had come from one of us, his charges. My classmates looked at me. Which wasn’t strange: I had a reputation for knowing the answer. They must have thought I would know about the scream. As it happened, all I could think about was how strange, just at the time when I needed it, the girl had screamed. I had been swimming through the clouds, unwillingly connected to a small party of adults who were purposefully going somewhere, a destination I sud- denly sensed meant danger for me. Naturally I didn’t want to go any further with them, but I didn’t know how to communicate this to adults and ones intent on doing me harm.

KEON ESKY iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This thesis owes a debt of gratitude to many people in many different countries, and indeed continents. They have all contributed in various measures to the completion of this endeavour. However, this study is deeply indebted first and foremost to my supervisor Dr. Francesco Borghesi.

Besides my supervisor, I would like to thank the whole Department of Italian Studies at the University of Sydney, who have patiently worked with me and assisted me when I needed it. My sincere thanks go to Dr. Rubino and the rest of the committees that in the years have formed the panel for the Annual Reviews for their insightful comments and encouragement, but equally for their firm questioning, which helped me widening the scope of my research and accept other perspectives.

  • The Discovery of Inscriptions and the Legitimation of New Cults

Today, these inscriptions con- stitute elements essential to our understanding and knowledge of ancient society. On the one hand, the everyday, ordinary aspect of these texts gives us a less idealized picture of the classical world; on the other hand, the materiality of the medium makes distant antiquity more real, more accessible. The discovery of new epigraphic evidence is always exciting, and gives scholars an opportunity to display their skill in deciphering. In antiquity, finding and re-using inscriptions, whether genuine or forged, played an important role in shaping and understanding the world: then as today, the reinterpretation of ancient inscribed texts allowed a reconstruction of the past, which was then employed as a way to manage the present. Poets, historians, and antiquarians quoted and discussed inscriptions, in both Greek and Latin, with a whole range of motives.1 This paper examines the circumstances in which inscriptions were discovered both in pagan and Christian antiquity and focuses on the ways they were used in the legitimation of new cults. 1 See the contributions of Higbie 1999; Tronson 2000; Boardman 2002 (index sv ‘inscriptions’); Haake 2004; Zizza 2006; Pownall 2008.

    Talismans against Tsunamis: Apollonius of Tyana and the stelai of the Herakleion in Gades (VA 5.5) Manuel Álvarez Martí-Aguilar HE HERAKLEION IN GADES was a religious centre famous throughout the ancient world.1 According to T the local accounts collected by Posidonius of Apamea and transmitted by Strabo (3.5.5–6), the origin of the sanctuary dated back to the time of the city’s foundation by colonists from Tyre, which is currently dated to the ninth century B.C.2 The sanctuary was dedicated to Melqart, the most important god of the metropolis and the new colony, who is identified in 1 Among the extensive bibliography, the most notable are A.
