Date of the Tegea Decree (Tod ii 202): A Response to the Diagramma of Alexander III or of Polyperchon?
http://www.uni-frankfurt.de/fb08/SAG/ahb/ahb7/ahb-7-2d.html
Ian Worthington (University of Tasmania) The Ancient History Bulletin 7.2 (1993) 59-64. Worthington restores the fragmented name at the beginnkng of the decree to [ALEC]A?NDROS, rejecting Heisserer’s restored [KASS]A?NDROS, which “thus could refer to Polyperchon’s edict of 319, which re-established democracies in the Greek states and restored the exiles (Diod. 18.56).” If the decree is not tied to Alexander’s Exiles Decree of 324, then the Tegeans rejected Alexander’s directive, but accepted the later, 319, decree to accept returning exiles. Moreover, the inscription’s arrangements for the restoration of exiles’ properties were relatively limited, contrary to the 319 directive for full restoration. Finally, Tegeans most likely issued this decree following the Exiles Decree out of “military and practical reasons,” considering the proximity of Tegea to the large number of mercenaries located at Taenarum at that time, before Alexander’s unexpected death.

Funerary Inscription from Ilium
http://wwwvms.utexas.edu/~ajaf077/Inscription/Ilium.html
A research finding, published online by the Classics Department at the University of Texas at Austin, authored by Martin Harriman, Kenneth Mayer, Susan Murphy, and Richard Pianka: A fragment of a late third to late first century BCE council decree with two wreaths of unknown leaf type–each wreath possibly representing Ilium and another city-state–honoring (possibly) a Dusagoras, who may have been a Galatian Celt (according to the name). Dusagoras may have been an arbitrator.

Hekatompedon Inscription Reconsidered
http://www.xs4all.nl/~mkosian/hekat.html
Author’s abstract: “This is an topographical and social study of the so-called Hekatompedon inscription (IG I2, 4). A location on the Athenian Acropolis for the Hekatompedon area is suggested north of the Peisistratid temple. This location is based on both epigraphical and archaeological evidences. It also identifies some of Wiegand’s minor buildings as part of the Hekatompedon. An architectural reconstruction of this religious area is given for the sixth century B.C. The social part of this paper focuses on the reasons behind the inscription and gives a hypothesis on the every day situation in this area on the Acropolis.”

New Epigraphic Finds Near Čačak
http://arheo.f.bg.ac.yu/projekti/jelica/text3/index.html
E-reprint of article from Balcanica: Annuaire de l’Institut des Etudes Balkaniques 26. Part of the larger Jelica – Gradinasite, edited by Mihailo Milinković. Abstract: The seventeen fragments in Latin, that have been found on Gradina-Jelica site near Čačak, can be classified into two groups: the first one consists of an inscription of a beneficiarius and a dedication to Diana, and the second one includes fifteen fragments of Christian inscriptions. The monuments from the first group indicate the existence of a station of the beneficiarii consularis in the surroundings of Čačak, and a system of roads and ancient mines in this region. The fragments of the Christian inscriptions from Basilica A, which are imposible to organize into a whole, have been dated, according to their paleographic traits, to the end of the 4th or even perhaps the 5th c. A.D.

Proxeny-Decree of 353/2 B.C. (IG ii2 139 + 289)
http://www.uni-frankfurt.de/fb08/SAG/ahb/ahb3/ahb-3-6b.html
Michael B. Walbank (University of Calgary), The Ancient History Bulletin 3.6 (1989) 119-122: Two fragments of pale, bluish-gray Hymettian marble, IG ii2 139 (now fragment a) and IG ii2 289 (now fragment b), now in the Epigraphic Museum in Athens, comprise parts of a 353/2 BCE decree conferring proxenia upon possibly a citizen of the Cretan polis Sybrita. Sybrita’s control of the central Cretan trade route may have been the reason for this man’s special consideration. Symbola agreements between Athens and Knossos and Kydonia (?) serve as comparables.

Recent Work On Greek Inscriptions And The History Of The Attic Alphabet
http://www.uni-frankfurt.de/fb08/SAG/ahb/ahb7/ahb-7-1d.html
Review article by Michael B. Walbank (University of Calgary), The Ancient History Bulletin 7.1 (1993) 28-36: A review of past approaches to the development of early Attic epigraphy, for the purpose of showing basically that “Athens seems to have been graphically backward during the early years of the Greek alphabet, and contributed little to its development.” Walbank reviews M. Guarducci, L’epigrafia greca dalle origini al tardo impero. (1987); H. R. Immerwahr, Attic Script. A Survey. (1990); and L. H. Jeffery, The Local Scripts of Archaic Greece. A Study in the Origin of the Greek Alphabet and its Development from the Eighth to the Fifth Centuries B.C., Revised Edition with a Supplement by A.W. Johnston (1990). Of note, the three reviewed authors agree that the Dipylon Jug from Attica is possibly the oldest known example of Greek alphabetic writing, but alone Immerwhar considers the script a combination of Aiginetan and Euboean, not Attic.

Towards a Study of Eleventh Century’s Carmina Latina Epigraphica: the Renewal of an Ancient Tradition
http://www.hottopos.com.br/rih1/carmina.htm
An article by J. Gómez Pallarès of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, published in the on-line Revista Internacional d’Humanitats 1 (1998) = edició commemorativa de 30 anys de fundació de la Faculdade de Educação da Universidade de São Paulo (1969-1999) (http://www.hottopos.com.br/rih1/). The author analyzes inscribed Latin metrical texts from the area of modern Spain that can be securely dated between the 6th and 11th centuries A.D. He argues for unbroken continuity in topics, audience, style and genre with earlier (1st century B.C. to 5th centry A.D.) Latin metrical inscriptions.
