The Near East, and particularly the region corresponding to modern Syria, is very rich in Greek inscriptions dating from the Roman to the Byzantine age (approx. 1st century BC - 7th century AD), with a lower but significant number of inscriptions dated to the Hellenistic period (3rd-1st BC), and to Umayyad (661-750) and Abbasid caliphates (750-1258 AD). These inscriptions have been partially collected in the series Inscriptions grecques et latines de Syrie (IGLS, recently restarted after a long interruption), even if many of them still remain published only in journals or excavation reports. There are also many parchments and papyri, both in Greek and Latin, coming essentially from Dura Europos and the Middle Euphrates. They bear a rich variety of proper names, which have never been properly studied and collected.The aim of the present project, entitled A New Edition of the Corpus of the Personal Names in the Greek and Latin Inscriptions from Syria and Lebanon, is to provide a full reassessment of the personal names recorded in Greek and Latin texts from Syria and Lebanon, and also from other regions of the Roman Empire, if borne by emigrants of demonstrable Syrian/Lebanese origin. The inscriptions to be included are not only the epigraphs (which in any case constitute the majority of the corpus), but also the parchments, the papyri, the inscriptions on mosaics and the ostraka, that is every (non-literary) Greek and Latin text containing proper names, thus gathering for the first time all the anthroponomastic evidence from this regions. The names included in the database are estimated to be approximately between 12.000 and 14.000 units.According to modern studies on onomastics, attention will be paid to geographical, historical, and socio-cultural elements, such as provenience, religion, family, profession of the bearers of the name. Moreover, philological analysis will be devoted to Semitic anthroponyms (ca. 7000-8000 units), giving information about etymology (roots, theonyms) and name structure.All these data will be entered in a database collecting all the personal names recorded in the texts. At the end of the project, the collected data will be analyzed in a monograph, and the database will be made accessible to the public. The collected data will thus provide useful information for the scientific community, increasingly aware of the importance of onomastics and name-giving in philological, historical, cultural and religious studies. Moreover, the use of an open-access database will encourage scholars of different fields to discuss and implement data even after the end of the project, thus giving new impulses both to the study of Semitic anthroponomastics, and to the research about the linguistic, cultural, and religious interactions in the Ancient World. The database, a real innovation in the study of Semitic proper names, may be seen as the first step in view of a richer collection of Semitic anthroponomastics.

近东，特别是与现代叙利亚相对应的地区，有着丰富的希腊铭文，可以追溯到罗马到拜占庭时代（约1000年）。公元前世纪-公元世纪7），有一个较低的，但显着数量的铭文日期为希腊化时期（公元前3 - 1），倭马亚（661-750）和阿巴斯哈里发（750-1258 AD）。这些铭文部分被收集在《古叙利亚铭文与拉丁文》系列（IGLS，在长期中断后最近重新开始）中，尽管其中许多仍然只发表在期刊或挖掘报告中。也有许多羊皮纸和纸莎草纸，无论是在希腊语和拉丁语，主要来自杜拉欧洲和中幼发拉底河。本项目题为《叙利亚和黎巴嫩希腊文和拉丁文人名语料库的新版本》，目的是对叙利亚和黎巴嫩以及罗马帝国其他地区的希腊文和拉丁文文本中记录的人名进行全面的重新评估，如果是由可证明的叙利亚/黎巴嫩原籍的移民承担。所要收录的铭文不仅是铭文（无论如何，它们构成了语料库的大部分），而且还有羊皮纸、纸莎草纸、镶嵌画上的铭文和ostraka，即包含专有名称的每一种（非文学）希腊语和拉丁语文本，从而第一次收集了来自这一地区的所有人类学证据。数据库中的地名估计约有12 000至14 000个单位，根据现代专名学研究，将注意地理、历史和社会文化因素，如地名使用者的出处、宗教、家庭和职业。此外，文字学分析将致力于闪族anthroponyms（约。所有这些数据都将输入一个数据库，收集文本中记录的所有人名。在项目结束时，将对收集到的数据进行专题分析，并向公众开放数据库。因此，收集的数据将为科学界提供有用的信息，科学界日益认识到专名学和命名在语言学、历史、文化和宗教研究中的重要性。此外，开放存取数据库的使用将鼓励不同领域的学者在项目结束后讨论和实施数据，从而为闪族人类学研究以及古代世界语言，文化和宗教互动的研究提供新的动力。该数据库是研究闪米特人专有名称的一项真实的创新，可被看作是收集更丰富的闪米特人类学的第一步。
