这项工作定义了一套明确的不朽标准，用于检查铭文的不朽外观，包括文字的外观（例如，纪念碑上的排列、装饰的使用、字母大小的变化，以及在双语铭文的情况下，两种不同语言的呈现）及其与纪念碑背景的关系（建筑背景和城市背景）。该标准适用于在Ephesos的案例研究，分为两个部分。第一部分考虑了一系列的三个纪念碑在Tetragonos Agora之间的日期约。公元前3年130 C.第二个项目将标准应用于两个不同背景下的一系列项目中更广泛的材料。该方法演示了如何评估金石纪念碑可以提供补充信息，所提供的标准格式的已发表的铭文，以及如何这些信息是适用于更广泛的学者。
This work defines a clear set of monumental criteria for examining an inscription’s monumental appearance, including the appearance of the text (e.g., its arrangement on the monument, the use of decorations, variations in letter size, and, in the case of bilingual inscriptions, the presentation of two different languages) and its relationship to the monumental context (in its architectural setting and the urban context). The criteria are applied in a case study at Ephesos that is divided into two sections. The first section considers a series of three monuments at the Tetragonos Agora that date between ca. 3 B.C.E. and 130 C.E. The second applies the criteria to a broader range of material in a series of projects from two different contexts. The methodology demonstrates how an assessment of epigraphic monumentality can provide complementary information to that provided by the standard format of published inscriptions and how this information is applicable to a broader range of scholars.
