White Robes and Palms 368 INDEXES 371 AUTHOR'S PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH EDITION. Having been honoured by a request to sanction an English translation of my Bibelstudien and Neue Bibelstudien, I have felt it my duty to accede to the proposal. It seems to me that investigations based upon Papyri and Inscriptions are specially calculated to be received with interest by English readers. For one thing, the richest treasures from the domain of Papyri and Inscriptions are deposited in English museums and libraries; for another, English investigators take premier rank among the discoverers and editors of Inscriptions, but particularly of Papyri; while, again, it was English scholarship which took the lead in utilising the Inscriptions in the sphere of biblical research. Further, in regard to the Greek Old Testament in particular, for the investigation of which the Inscriptions and Papyri yield valuable material (of which only the most inconsiderable part has been utilised in the following pages), English theologians have of late done exceedingly valuable and memorable work. In confirmation of all this I need only recall the names of F. Field, B. P. Grenfell, E. Hatch, E. L. Hicks, A. S. Hunt, F. G. Kenyon, J. P. Mahaffy, W. R. Paton, W. M. Ramsay, H. A. Redpath, H. B. Swete, and others hardly less notable. Since the years 1895 and 1897, in which respec- (vii) viii AUTHOR'S PREFACE TO THE ENGLISH EDITION. tively the German Bibelstudien and Neue Bibelstudien were published, there has been a vast increase of available material, which, again, has been much more accessible to me as a Professor in the University of Heidelberg than it was during my residence at Herborn. I have so far availed myself of portions of the more recent discoveries in this English edition; but what remains for scholars interested in such investigations is hardly less than enormous, and is being augmented year by year. I shall be greatly pleased if yet more students set themselves seriously to labour in this field of biblical research. In the English edition not a few additional changes have been made; I must, however, reserve further items for future Studies. With regard to the entries kuriako<j (p. 217 ff.), and especially i[lath<rion (p. 124 ff.), I should like to make express reference to the articles Lord's Day and Mercy Seat to be contributed by me to the Encyclopcedia Biblica. Finally, I must record my heartiest thanks to my translator, Rev. Alexander Grieve, M.A., D. Phil., Forfar, for his work. With his name I gratefully associate the words which once on a time the trans- lator of the Wisdom of Jesus Sirach applied with ingenuous complacency to himself: pollh>n a]grupni<an kai> e]pisth<mhn prosenegka<menoj. ADOLF DEISSMANN. HEIDELBERG, 27th December, 1900. FROM THE PREFACE TO THE GERMAN EDITION. Bible Studies is the name I have chosen for the following investigations, since all of them are more or less concerned with the historical questions which the Bible, and specially the Greek version, raises for scientific treatment. I am not, of course, of the opinion that there is a special biblical science. Science is method: the special sciences are distin- guished from each other as methods. What is designated "Biblical Science" were more fitly named "Biblical Research". The science in ques- tion here is the same whether it is engaged with Plato, or with the Seventy Interpreters and the Gospels. Thus much should be self-evident. A well-disposed friend who understands some- thing of literary matters tells me that it is hardly fitting that a younger man should publish a volume of "Studies": that is rather the part of the ex- perienced scholar in the sunny autumn of life. To this advice I have given serious consideration, but I am still of the opinion that the hewing of stones is very properly the work of the journeyman. And in the department where I have laboured, many a block must yet be trimmed before the erection of the edifice can be thought of. But how much still remains to do, before the language of the Septuagint, the relation (ix) x FROM THE PREFACE TO THE GERMAN EDITION. to it of the so-called New Testament Greek, the history of the religious and ethical conceptions of Hellenic Judaism, have become clear even in outline only; or before it has been made manifest that the religious movement by which we date our era origin- ated and was developed in history—that is, in con- nection with, or, it may be, in opposition to, an already- existent high state of culture! If the following pages speak much about the Septuagint, let it be remem- bered that in general that book is elsewhere much too little spoken of, certainly much less than was the case a hundred years ago. We inveigh against the Rationalists—often in a manner that raises the sus- picion that we have a mistrust of Reason. Yet these men, inveighed against as they are, in many respects set wider bounds to their work than do their critics. During my three years' work in the Seminarium Philippinum at Marburg, I have often enough been forced to think of the plan of study in accordance with which the bursars used to work about the middle of last century. Listen to a report of the matter such as the following :— 1 "With regard to Greek the legislator has laid particular stress upon the relation in which this language stands to a true understanding of the .N.T. How reasonable, therefore, will those who can judge find the recommendation that the Septuagint (which, 1 Cf. the programme (of the superintendent) Dr. Carl Wilhelm Robert: . announces that the Literary Association . shall be duly opened . on the 27th inst. [Marburg] Miller's Erben and Weldige, 1772, p. 13. That the superintendent had still an eye for the requirements of practical life is shown by his remarks elsewhere. For example, on page 7f., he good- naturedly asserts that he has carried out "in the most conscientious manner" the order that "the bursars shall be supplied with sufficient well-prepared food and wholesome and unadulterated beer". The programme affords a fine glimpse into the academic life of the Marburg of a past time. FROM THE PREFACE TO THE GERMAN EDITION. xi on the authority of an Ernesti and a Michaelis, is of the first importance as a means towards the proper understanding of the N.T.), has been fixed upon as a manual upon which these lectures must be given! And how much is it to be wished that the bursars, during the year of their study of this book, should go through such a considerable part of the same as may be necessary to realise the purposes of the legislator!" I am not bold enough to specify the time when academical lectures and exercises upon the Septua- will again be given in Germany.1 But the coming century is long, and the mechanical conception of science is but the humour of a day! . I wrote the book, not as a clergyman, but as a Privatdocent at Marburg, but I rejoice that I am able, as a clergyman, to publish it. G. ADOLF DEISSMANN. HERBORN: DEPARTMENT OF WIESBADEN, 7th March, 1895. 1 1. Additional note, 1899: Professor Dr. Johannes Weiss of Marburg has announced a course upon the Greek Psalter for the Summer Session, 1899; the author lectured on the Language of the Greek Bible in Heidelberg in the Winter Session of 1897-98. TRANSLATOR'S NOTE. In addition to the supplementary matter specially contributed to the present edition by the Author, the translation shows considerable alterations in other respects. Not only has the smaller and later volume, Neue Bibelstudien, 1897, found a place in the body of the book, but the order of the Articles has been all but completely changed.

  • The New Jerusalem of the Montanists,” Byzantion 6 (1931): 421-425
    W.M. Calder, “The New Jerusalem of the Montanists,” Byzantion 6 (1931): 421-425. The New Jerusalem of the Montanists W.M. Calder [p.421] « Pepouza is little more than a name to us; but the order of Hierocles is so well marked that M. Radet [En Phrygie, p. 111] and I have independently and about the same time reached approximately the same conclusion as to the district in which Pepouza lay. » (RAMSAY, Cities and Bishoprics of Phrygia, p. 573). It is a pleasure to be able to report in the present issue of Byzantion that the Expedition sent to Phrygia in 1930 by the American Society for Archaeological Research in Asia Minor found epigraphical evidence which confirms the accuracy of this location. The actual site of Pepouza still remains uncertain, but the uncertainty has been confined within narrow limits. The references in literature to Pepouza, the chief centre and « New Jerusalem » of the Phrygian Montanists, were collected by Ramsay loc. cit. To enable the reader to appreciate the bearing of the new evidence, it is necessary to supplement Ramsay’s account with a summary of subsequent investigation into the local history and the epigraphy of Phrygian Montanism. In Bulletin of the John Rylands Library, VII, 1923, p. 309 ff., the germ of the Montanist movement in Phrygia was traced to the Church in Philadelphia, as described in the Letter to that Church in the Apocalypse. The earliest direct reference to Montanism ― or rather proto- Montanism ― occurs in the Martyrdom of Polycarp, where the epithet « Phrygian » applied to the would-be martyr Quintus shows that there were « Montanists » before Montanus.

As usual, emphasis was placed on the presentation of editions of new texts. This issue contains several interesting new epigraphic finds, mostly from Asia Minor. I would like to highlight a long Hellenistic inscription from Lykia (Tlos or Xanthos) that concerns a funerary foundation (143); besides providing interesting details regarding the sacrifice and the banquet, this text is an important piece of evidence for the devotion of an individual to a personal patron god (Helios, in this case), for belief in a personal ‘hero’ (or daimon), and the heroization through private initiative.

  • The End of Local Magistrates in the Roman Empire
    The end of local magistrates in the Roman Empire Leonard A. CURCHIN University of Waterloo, Canadá [email protected] Recibido: 15 de julio de 2013 Aceptado: 10 de diciembre de 2013 ABSTRACT Previous studies of the status of local magistrates in the Late Empire are unsatisfying and fail to explain when and why local magistracies ended. With the aid of legal, epigraphic, papyrological and literary sources, the author re-examines the functions and chronology of both regular and quasi-magistrates, among them the curator, defensor and pater civitatis. He finds that the expense of office-holding was only part of the reason for the extinction of regular magistracies. More critical was the failure of local magistrates to control finances and protect the plebeians. Key words: Cursus honorum. Late Roman Empire. Roman administration. Roman cities. Roman gov- ernment. Roman magistrates. El fin de los magistrados locales en el Imperio romano RESUMEN Los estudios previos relativos a la condición de los magistrados locales durante el Bajo Imperio son poco satisfactorios, porque dejan sin aclarar cuándo y cómo se extinguieron las magistraturas locales. Con ayuda de fuentes jurídicas, epigráficas, papirológicas y literarias, el autor examina de nuevo las funciones y la cronología de magistrados regulares y cuasi-magistrados, como el curator, el defensor y el pater civitatis. Se considera que los gastos aparejados a los cargos públicos explican sólo en parte la extinción de las magistraturas regulares; más crucial fue, en este sentido, el hecho de que los magistra- dos locales de este período fallasen a la hora de restringir los gastos o de proteger a los plebeyos.

  • Thesis for the Degree Of
    Reconfiguring the Universe: The Contest for Time and Space in the Roman Imperial Cults and 1 Peter Submitted by Wei Hsien Wan to the University of Exeter as a thesis for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Theology and Religion February 2016 This thesis is available for Library use on the understanding that it is copyright material and that no quotation from the thesis may be published without proper acknowledgement. I certify that all material in this thesis which is not my own work has been identified and that no material has previously been submitted and approved for the award of a degree by this or any other University. Signature: ……………………………………………………………………………… Abstract Evaluations of the stance of 1 Peter toward the Roman Empire have for the most part concluded that its author adopted a submissive or conformist posture toward imperial authority and influence. Recently, however, David Horrell and Travis Williams have argued that the letter engages in a subtle, calculated (“polite”) form of resistance to Rome that has often gone undetected. Nevertheless, discussion of the matter has remained largely focused on the letter’s stance toward specific Roman institutions, such as the emperor, household structures, and the imperial cults. Taking the conversation beyond these confines, the present work examines 1 Peter’s critique of the Empire from a wider angle, looking instead to the letter’s ideology or worldview. Using James Scott’s work to think about ideological resistance against domination, I consider how the imperial cults of Anatolia and 1 Peter offered distinct constructions of time and space—that is, how they envisioned reality differently.

  • 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.

  • Stadiasmus Patarensis Için Parerga (2) Sidyma I. Yeni Yazıtlarla Birlikte Yerleşim Tarihçesi
    GEPHYRA 7 2010 95–136 Burak TAKMER* Stadiasmus Patarensis için Parerga (2) Sidyma I. Yeni Yazıtlarla Birlikte Yerleşim Tarihçesi Abstract: The contribution introduces six inscriptions, from a total of fourteen new inscriptions, providing information concerning the history of the city, its territory, prominent citizens who ob- tained Roman citizenship and the funerary architecture that is peculiar to this city. Before the au- thor introduces these inscriptions, he provides the following four items: (I) urban topography and the monuments on surface, (II) the history of the settlement, (III) the Roman citizens before the Constitutio Antoniniana and (IV) the territory of the city. Accordingly, there is the Hellenistic- Classical fortification wall, the theatre, agora, a Doric-style stoa, which Ti. Claudius Epagathos, the freedman and personal physician of the Emperor Claudius, and his son Ti. Claudius Livianus dedicated to the emperor, a sebasteion dedicated to θεοὶ σωτῆρες Σεβαστοί during the governor- ship of Quintus Veranius, the first governor of the province. In Sidyma, furthermore there are about one hundred funerary constructions of diverse typologies, built in different periods from 5th century BC to the 5th century AD. The earliest remains of the city date from the Classical Period. Further evidence indicating the existence of the city in the Classical Period comes from the trib- ute lists of 425/4 BC of the Athenian-Delian League, mentioning the name of Sidyma.
