Ὡς ὁ βασιλεὺς ἄγει. Considerazioni sulle formule di datazione doppia delle iscrizioni greche della Babilonia partica
Abstract
This paper examines two Greek inscriptions written in Babylon during the Parthian period with specific focus on the sections containing double dating formulas. Unfortunately, both inscriptions – particularly the first – are damaged. This paper shows that strong evidence in favor of one of the text reconstructions proposed by scholars can be obtained by means of an analysis combining the methods and tools of philology and historical (socio)linguistics. Evidence from other languages is also considered.
