  • Tlos, Oinoanda and the Hittite Invasion of the Lukka Lands. Some Thoughts on the History of North-Western Lycia in the Late Bronze and Iron Ages

DOI: https://doi.org/10.1515/klio-2014-0039 Klio 2014; 96(2): 369–415 Max Gander Tlos, Oinoanda and the Hittite Invasion of the Lukka lands. Some Thoughts on the History of North-Western Lycia in the Late Bronze and Iron Ages Summary: The present article contains observations on the invasion of Lycia by the Hittite king Tudhaliya IV as described in the Yalburt inscription. The author questions the commonly found identification of the land of VITIS/Wiyanwanda with the city of Oinoanda on account of the problems raised by the reading of the sign VITIS as well as of archaeological and strategical observations. With the aid of Lycian and Greek inscriptions the author argues that the original Wiya- nawanda/Oinoanda was located further south than the city commonly known as Oinoanda situated above İncealiler. These insights lead to a reassessment of the Hittite-Luwian sources concerning the conquest of Lycia.

    Sunuþ Çevreden Çýkarak arihsel çevre, doðal çevre, kentsel çevre olarak tanýmlanan ve yeni bir davranýþ Tkavramýný gündeme getiren çevre sözcüðü, evrenimizde insan oðlunun yerleþik düzene geçtiði Neolitik çaðdan bu yana bilinen bir sözcüktür. Zamanýmýzda ileri uygar- lýk düzeyini yakalamýþ zengin ülkeler, II. Dünya savaþýndan sonra çevre kavramýný çeþitli boyutlarý ile tartýþmýþlar ve gerekli koruyucu önlemlerini almýþlardýr. Ülkemizdeki Çevre kavramýna dönecek olursak, bu sözcüðün ve önüne gelen sýfatlarýn ancak çeyrek yüzyýllýk bir geçmiþi olduðunu görürüz. Bugün için çevre kavramýnýn içeriði hala çok kolay bir biçimde tarif edilir. Ancak tanýmýn ayrýntýsýna girildikçe, olayýn hiçte o kadar kolay açýklanamadýðý görülür. Biz arkeologlar için birinci derecede tarihsel çevre kavra- mý önem taþýr. Çünkü tarihsel çevremizin yaþamýmýzda bize vereceði dersleri, tercihleri ve davranýþ biçimlerimizi akýlcý bir yöntemle belirlememize olanak verir. Bu oluþumda dikkat edilecek olan ilkler arasýnda somut ve soyut kültür varlýklarýmýzý en iyi bir biçimde koruma bilincinin küçük yaþlardan itibaren toplumumuza verilmesi, saðlýklý bilgilerle uluslarýn kendi özgün kültürleri olabileceðini ve bunlar içinde korunmasý gerekli olan taþýnýr ve taþýnmaz kültür varlýklarýnýn da olabileceðini komplekslerden arýnarak öðret- memiz, bir yurttaþlýk görevi olmalýdýr. Bu öðreti o ülkenin kültürel yaþam kalitesini ortaya koymada en büyük etmendir. Kültürel yaþamýn oluþmasýnda geçmiþin ne denli önemli olduðunu görmemek bizce onarýlmasý olanaksýz bir yanýlgýdýr. Ülkemizde son çeyrek yüzyýlda geniþ halk kitlelerince kabul gören bu yeni taným, geçmiþimizin geleceðe ne kadar etkin olduðunu az da olsa öðretme becerisini yakalayabilmiþtir. Ancak Türkiye'nin plansýz ve ileriye dönük kurgularýnýn yapýlmaksýzýn baþlatýlan sanayileþme dönemi, kültürel varlýklarýmýzýn bilinçsizce kýyýmýna sebep olabilmiþtir. Son günlerde (Aralýk 2001 ve Ocak 2002) ülkemiz medyasýnda ve TBMM. genel kurulunda tartýþýlan bir konu ile "Tarihsel Çevre" Türkiye gündemine oturmuþtur.

  • Opponents and Successors of the Xanthian Dynasty in Western Lycia: the Weχssere Questions Reconsidered
    Received: March 11, 2018 | Accepted: May 2, 2019 GEPHYRA 17, 2019, 29-81 Opponents and successors of the Xanthian dynasty in Western Lycia: The Weχssere questions reconsidered Wilhelm MÜSELER Introduction The publication of the book on Lycian coins in European private collections by the present author is approaching its third anniversary1. As expected, it has already sparked a number of interesting discussions regarding some of its central tenets. The attribution of the main text from the famous Xanthos-Stele to Χerẽi, once more emphasized in a recent article by the author and by his col- league Diether Schürr2, has found broad support and was strengthened by a new analysis of the stoichedon rules applied to the inscription by Helmut Lotz3. However, questions regarding the number and the role of the dynasts, who have been issuing coins that carry either the full or abbreviated personal name Weχssere or legends of a somewhat related form such as Waχssebllimi, Waχssepddimi or Uχssepddimi, have caused considerable con- fusion. The original hypothesis, brought forward by Kenneth Jenkins4 and subsequently accepted by most scholars studying the archaic and classical coins of Lycia, had asserted that there were two individuals called Weχssere, possibly father and son, whose issues belonged to two distinct periods of Lycian coinage: The elder and far more numerous group is in several respects related to the light weight coinage of the dynast Kuprlli from mints in Western Lycia and therefore has to be dated to the middle of the 5th century BC. The younger, considerably smaller group is mainly formed by a number of heavier coins bearing the name of the dynast in alternation with the name of the mint place Zagaba in Central Lycia in the back5.

  • Parerga to the Stadiasmus Patarensis (16): the Roads, Settlements and Territories
    GEPHYRA 13, 2016, 89-118 Parerga to the Stadiasmus Patarensis (16): The Roads, Settlements and Territories Fatih ONUR in memory of Prof. Dr. Sencer ŞAHİN In this paper, I discuss some issues concerning the relationship between roads, settlements and ter- ritories recorded in the Stadiasmus Patarensis (SP). Accepting that the SP was not a journey guide and that it just provided the length of the roads (R) constructed or renovated, and of course meas- ured, between almost all of the major and some minor settlements, I propose: firstly, that the roads between the settlements were from and into the settlements’ town zones; secondly, that the compo- sition of the road list took account of the territories of the settlements; thirdly, that all the settle- ments mentioned in the SP had an independence, which might have varied in different status. The paper opens by discussing the use of prepositions and articles in the SP, before addressing the courses of the roads. I shall then treat the probable start and end points of the roads, and dedicate a final section to the political status of the settlements and the related territorial issues. Before addressing these points, I believe that it should be firstly and precisely determined what was meant by the use of ὁδός on the SP at the top of side B. From the beginning of our research and publications, we have called these road connections, the “routes” (itinera) between settlements, Assoc. Prof. Fatih Onur, Akdeniz University, Faculty of Letters, Dept. of Ancient Languages and Cultu- res, Campus 07058 Antalya ([email protected]).

  • ECCLESIAE OCCIDENTALIS MONUMENTA IURIS ANTIQUISSIMA Ed
    ECCLESIAE OCCIDENTALIS MONUMENTA IURIS ANTIQUISSIMA ed. C.H. Turner (Oxford, 1899-1939) Index of Names and Selected Words Corrected, revised, and extended 2008 by Philip R. Amidon, S.J. Creighton University [email protected] It has seemed opportune to republish this index in a corrected and extended version; there has been added to the list of names a list of selected words, and the method of referring to the text has been somewhat altered. The exact scope of C.H. Turner’s masterpiece is not immediately apparent from its title or subtitles (Canonum et conciliorum graecorum interpretationes latinae; Canones et concilia graeca ab antiquis interpretibus latine reddita). What one in fact finds here is an edition of the earliest surviving collections of church canons in Latin which are undoubtedly from the fourth century or have been assigned to it by at least some consensus of scholarship; some of them are translations from Greek, while others were originally drafted in Latin itself. Most of them, with the exception of the Apostolic Constitutions and Canons, are attributed to church councils. Turner, however, also offers a selection of doctrinal and historical material of enormous value, some of it indeed connected to the councils whose canons he edits; a comparison, for instance, of the creed contained in the synodical letter of the Council of Sardica with the Tomus Damasi, will suggest how far the doctrinal education of the western church advanced during the course of the fourth century. The connection of other historical matter to the canons is less obvious, however; one wonders what the Athanasian Historia acephala is doing here (granted that it is part of the collection of Theodosius the Deacon), however grateful one is to have the edition.

  • The Araxa Honorary Decree for Orthagoras: Dating and Historical Context
    The Araxa Honorary Decree for Orthagoras: Dating and Historical Context Junior Paper by Ilia Calogero Curto Pelle 1. Introduction In 1946, George Ewart Bean discovered a large stone at the site of the ancient city of Araxa in the village of Ören, Fethiye district, Turkey.1 It contained a Hellenistic honorary decree for one of Araxa’s premier citizens, Orthagoras. Since Bean published this inscription, it has become a primary tool for understanding, dating, and describing the events and processes that characterized the region of Lycia in the 2nd century B.C. However, the date of this inscription has become a matter of bitter scholarly debate for almost 75 years. The Orthagoras decree has been used for characterizing and dating, among other things, the creation of the Cibyran Tetrapolis,2 other agreements between Hellenistic polities,3 and the different phases of the Rhodian-Lycian Wars in the 180s and 170s B.C.4 However, the lack of a generally agreed upon date potentially jeopardizes the validity of these arguments. The present lack of a scholarly consensus and of a recent study of the inscription outside of longer researches on Lycian history and society necessitate the creation of a paper that confronts the diverse approaches and arguments on the topic. In this paper, I will outline the different mechanisms that are used to date this inscription, discuss their relevance, and argue for placing the date of this inscription in the late 160s and early 150s B.C.

Epigraphie Bulletin for Greek Religion 1997 (EBGR 1997) The eleventh issue of the BBGR deals primarily with the epigraphic harvest of 1997. Although my long time collaborator Eftychia Stavrianopoulou has been unable to contribute lemmata this year due to other responsibilities, we have been able to cover the majority of the publications of 1997 and to close many of the gaps left in previous issues; thus, this bulletin is the longest so far. We have been focusing on riew epigraphic finds, new interpretations of inscriptions, and epigraphical corpora, but we have also summarized sorne of the religious studies which are based primarily on the epigraphic material; we have also included sorne articles which present or discuss important papyrological sources. Next year, we hope with the help of E. Stavrianopoulou not only to include more addenda to earlier issues, but also to reduce the chronological gap between the publication of a book or an article and its presentation in this bulletin.
