A Lexicon of Greek Personal Names. Vol. V.A. Coastal Asia Minor: Pontos to Ionia V.A

"The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names was established in 1972 as a Major Research Project of the British Academy, at the suggestion of Peter Marshall Fraser, Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford and a Fellow of the Academy. On acceptance of the proposal, Fraser was appointed Director of the project and Chairman of an advisory committee. From the start, LGPN involved international collaboration, scholars from many countries being invited to contribute material and advice; but the Editors and central staff have always worked in Oxford. In October 1996, the project became part of Oxford University, under the aegis of the Faculty of Literae Humaniores, now the Faculty of Classics. It is a member of the group of Oxford Classics Research Projects. The project receives funding from the Arts and Humanities Research Council, the British Academy, the Academy of Athens. Purpose and Scope[:] To collect and publish with documentation all known ancient Greek personal names (including non-Greek names recorded in Greek, and Greek names in Latin), drawn from all available sources (literature, inscriptions, graffiti, papyri, coins, vases and other artefacts), within the period from the earliest Greek written records down to, approximately, the sixth century A.D. The work thus starts with the period of epichoric scripts, embraces the classical and hellenistic periods of Greek history, following dialect and the development of koine, and continues through the period of the Roman Empire when Greek nomenclature underwent changes as a result of Roman rule, and religious, social and other factors. Excluded names include mythological and heroic names, Mycenaean names, later Byzantine names and geographical names."-- Publisher's website Acknowledgements ......Page 6 Introduction ......Page 10 Abbreviations ......Page 20 Α ......Page 40 Β ......Page 134 Γ ......Page 144 Δ ......Page 154 Ε ......Page 189 Ζ ......Page 228 Η ......Page 235 Θ ......Page 247 Ι ......Page 260 Κ ......Page 273 Λ ......Page 301 Μ ......Page 315 Ν ......Page 367 Ξ ......Page 380 Ο ......Page 382 Π ......Page 391 Ρ ......Page 430 Σ ......Page 434 Τ ......Page 461 Υ ......Page 479 Φ ......Page 481 Χ ......Page 499 Ψ ......Page 507 Ω ......Page 508 Reverse index of names ......Page 509 This lexicon provides scholars and students of Greek civilization with a list, supported by evidence, of personal names known from literature, inscriptions, papyri, vases, coins, and other objects dating from the earliest period to the 7th century A.D. It promises to replace the mid-19th-century work of Pape and Benseler and offer fresh impetus to a wide range of historical and literary research. Produced under the auspices of the British Academy, the complete lexicon will be published in six volumes This lexicon provides students of the Greek world with a list, accompanied by full, itemized evidence, of personal names known from literature, inscriptions, papyri, vases, coins, and other objects. For personal names, therefore, it replaces the mid-nineteenth-century work of Pape and Benseler.
