Polis Integration and Eipgraphic Culture

本文的目的是为了弄清阁楼铭文文化的各个方面，主要是从公元前6世纪到公元3世纪。到目前为止，铭文一直被解读为文本。金石学家和历史学家认为，铭文在古代是作为文本阅读的，他们自己也是这样阅读的。因此，他们主要关注的是文本中所写的内容。然而，这项研究并不是简单地把碑文作为文本。但它把它们作为信息的载体之一，关注伪装的意义、存在和社会功能。在以前，碑文是从石碑上挤压出来作为文本阅读的，但在这项研究中，被挤压掉的碑文将被放回石碑上，石碑将被放回它们所站的地方。通过这样做，我试图读懂碑文信息和非文字信息的全部含义。结论如下：1)石碑不仅由文本组成，还包括石碑的形状和材质、放置位置、大字、ΘEOI、浮雕和制作成本等非文本信息。2)这些非文本信息都有自己的语法，就像文本和发送信息一样。然而，这些信息并不总是补充文本信息，而是与文本信息无关。因此，石碑上不仅有公共记录，而且还有私人的别有用心、野心、欲望和希望。3)碑文是在两个不同的语境中叙述的：第一语境和第二语境。而且他们之间经常存在差距。因此，铭文不仅被用来记录和发送消息，而且还被用来说服人、约束人、引导人向一定的方向(为了人作为城邦的融合)。

The purpose of this paper is to make clear the aspects of the Attic Epigraphic Culture, mainly from the sixth century B.C. to the third century A.D. So far inscriptions have been read as texts. Epigraphists and Historians have thought that inscriptions were read as texts in ancient times and they themselves have read insriptions as such. Therefore their main concern is the contents written in texts. This study however does not simply take inscriptions as texts. But it takes them as one of the vehicles of information and pays attentions to the meaning of the guise, its existence and the social functions. In previous times inscriptions were squeezed away from stelae and read as texts but in this study inscritpions squeezed away will put back to the stelae and the stelae will be set back to the places where they stood. By so doing I tried to read the whole meaning of text information and non-text information on stelae. Conclusions are as follows :1) A stela consists of not only texts but also non-text information such as shape and meterial of stela, placement where thery stood, large letters, ΘEOI, reliefs, and making costs.2) Each of these non-text information has its own grammar like texts and send information. This information however does not always supplement the text information, but has nothing to do with it. Thus on a stela not only public records but also private ulterior motives, ambitions, desire and hope were intertwined.3) Inscriptions were narrated in two different contexts; the Primary Context and the Secondary Context. And often there was a gap between them. Thus inscriptions were not only used for keeping records and sending massage, but also for persuading people, binding people, and direct people to a certanin direction (for integration of people as a polis).
