Palmyrene Aramaic textsDivided into three sections - bibliography, texts, and glossary - the work contains the published Aramaic inscriptions from ancient Palmyra (Tadmor) in Syria, as well as Palmyrene inscriptions from elsewhere in the Roman Empire. Most of the individual texts are accompanied by an indication of provenance, present location, genre, relations to other texts in the same group, and bibliographic references. Other features include: related Greek or Latin texts for multilingual inscriptions; an English-Aramaic index to the glossary; and a number of concordances of text references, including museum numbers, to facilitate the relation of this edition to earlier works in the field. |
