306 Paola CECCARELLI, Ancient Greek Letter Writing. a Cultural
306 COMPTES RENDUS Paola CECCARELLI, Ancient Greek Letter Writing. A Cultural History (600 BC- 150 BC). Oxford, Oxford University Press, 2013. 1 vol., 464 p. Prix: 95 £. ISBN 978- 0-19-967559. The aim of this monumental study is not only to contextualise Greek letter writing betWEEn 600 and 150 BC within communicative practices, but also to look at docu- mentary letters and letters Embedded in a narrative. An important part of Ceccarelli’s bibliography focusEs on lEttErs of the Classical and HEllEnistic period. ThE book starts with discussing somE problems related with ancient epistolography, such as typology of lEttErs, or anciEnt GrEEk tErminology (p. 1-19). ThE author points out in thE sEcond chapter (p. 23-58) that letter writing, as a communication across a spatial distance was not among thE earliest uses of Greek writing. Examining thE oldEst extant documEn- tary letters (she counts 42 letters that have been preserved), the author arguEs that for thE fifth and EvEn partly thE fourth cEntury BC it is impossible to spEak of a codified epistolary style. A survey of (contemporary) curses shows the original affinity between both curses and letters. In the next chaptEr (p. 59-99), CEccarElli analysEs thE traditions on the invEntion of writing. The early narratives that represent writing as an import from outside the GreEk World, did not focus on the function of this new art, whereas the traditions that attributed the invEntion to a Greek hEro, pointed to the ability of the written word to preservE information or to its potential for creativity. FurthEr, the author goes on to discuss storiEs that date from the classical pEriod and deal With the difficultiEs of Epistolary communication.

Postal History Timeline
Postal History Timeline Early Romans and Persians had message and relay systems. 1775 Continental Congress creates a postal system and names Ben Franklin the Postmaster General. He had also been a postmaster for the crown. Among his achievements as Postmaster for the Crown were establishing new postal routes, establishing mile markers, and speeding up service. IMPORTANCE: In early times, correspondents depended on friends, merchants, and Native Americans to carry messages. In 1639 a tavern in Boston was designated as a mail repository. England had appointed Benjamin Franklin as Joint Postmaster General for the Crown in 1753. Franklin inspected all the post offices, and created new shorter routes. However, in 1774 Franklin was dismissed because his actions were sympathetic to the cause of the colonies. 1832 First time railroads were used by the Postal Service to carry the mail. In 1864, railroad cars were set up to carry mail and equipped so that mail could be sorted on the railroad car. Railroad mail service ended in 1977. IMPORTANCE: Apart from the employees, transportation was the single most important element in mail delivery. 1840 The first adhesive postage stamp is created in England as part of a postal reform movement spearheaded by Roland Hill. Quickly, other countries started using this system of ensuring letters were paid for. Before this system, people would send letters postage due, with codes in the address or as a blank letter. This way the message would be received, but the recipient would not pay for the letter. 1847 The first U.S. postage stamp is issued. 1858 Butterfield Overland Mail provides service between Missouri and California.

Universal POST*CODE® Database-Specific Faqs
Addressing Knowledge Centre Universal POST*CODE® DataBase-specific FAQs 1 It is my understanding that the addresses all come in Latin-character scripts. However, their local version comes in different character scripts. I am trying to determine which character the addresses are in. Below is a listing of character scripts for data sets. We decided to list character scripts by data and not by country since we provide more than one data set for a certain group of countries, As regards character scripts, we provide datasets in Latin for almost all countries. If the original data are available only in the local character script we always try to develop the transliteration and get approval for it from the country. All non-Latin scripted data are kept in the main files. For each address element a pair of fields has been assigned to store two versions of name for this element: a name with diacritics or in local writing system (Arabic, Cyrillic, Hanzi, etc) and LOC_NAME_TRANS for storing a version of this locality name without diacritics and in Latin script. If a data set contains only names in non-Latin script (i.e. Arabic, Cyrillic, Hanzi, etc.) and Romanized names are not available, then these names are provided in the _TRANS fields. Most countries process addresses written in the Latin alphabet. Many of the countries which use a non- Latin script prefer incoming mail from abroad to be written in Latin since it increases the likelihood that the address has been written correctly.

The Purported Letter of Darius to Gadates
THE PURPORTED LETTER OF DARIUS TO GADATES This letter, which was found inscribed on a marble corner-block from a wall at Deirmendjik on the road from Magnesia on the Maeander to Tralles, has been accepted by most scholars as a genuine translation into Greek from a Persian original'). Some have, however, doubted its authenticity, most thoroughly M. v. 2 den Hout ). I accept his opinion, but what in my opinion is the strongest case for regarding the letter as a forgery is the fact that during Darius' reign the greatest sanctuary of Apollo in Asia Minor, the temple at Didyma, was burnt down by 3 Xerxes ). This fact corresponds very badlr with the traditional Persian religious toleration and especially with I. 28-29 0 the letter: ö,; llEQom,; dm: [nä]oav Cl'tQExE[L]av xaL ']:1). So the problem and subject of this paper is: Who wrote the original version of this letter which contains so strong an irony of Darius and Xerxes and their attitude towards Apollo? What the editors have uttered as ex planation of the conflagration and the inconsistency with the above mentioned lines of the letter does not convince me'). The suggestions made by some scholars that JtEL8aQXELv e. gen. of I. 5-8 and the word Cl'tQExE[L]av of I. 29 could imply an older Ionic text as the original are S convincingly refuted by van den Hout ). But as a date for the forgery some time 1) Editio princeps: G. Cousin-Go Deschamps, Lettre de Darius, fils d'Hys taspes, BCH 13 (1889) 529-542; SIG 22; U.
