The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names (LGPN) project seeks to create and disseminate a comprehensive and authoritative collection of personal name evidence, and so unlock the potential contained in such names for innovative research into every aspect of ancient Greek life. It covers the period from the earliest historical records (8th century BC) to the early Byzantine period (7th century AD). LGPN is not just about names but about people. Every attested bearer of a name is included. It is thus a fundamental tool for research into most aspects of social history. The seven published LGPN volumes (an eighth is in progress) have already established themselves among the most essential items in any ancient historian's toolbox. Through a succession of conferences and publications, LGPN has encouraged a boom in onomastic awareness and research, among literary scholars and social historians as well as epigraphists. The first objective of the present application is to prepare a ninth volume that will cover what in Roman times were the provinces of Syria, Judaea Palaestina, Arabia, Osrhoene and Mesopotamia (henceforth RNE [Roman Near East]), and also the so-called 'Greek Far East' (Iran, Bactria, India). Our current estimate of the number of names involved is c. 30,000, i.e. on a scale to require a volume of 250-300 folio pages. Unlike its predecessors, the new volume will treat regions where evidence is available on a substantial scale in languages other than Greek and Latin (principally Syriac, Hebrew, the various dialects of Aramaic and Arabic, and on a much smaller scale Babylonian cuneiform): some Greek names appear in languages other than Greek, some non-Greek names that appear in Greek (and thus fall within our remit) occur also in non-Greek sources. This is a difficult new challenge and a new opportunity, to deal with which we will recruit a researcher trained in Semitic languages and call on the advice of numerous experts. A new departure in dealing with non-Greek names recorded in Greek will be to give their form (in transcription) in the language to which they belong where known, and a reference to onomastica (where available) for those languages where the name in question is registered. We will thus provide a bridge between two classes of evidence too often kept separate through linguistic barriers. The bulk of the material will come from RNE, and (apart from the coastal region) is of the period of the Roman empire. Even when Greek (and Latin) inscriptions start to appear in good numbers, they often contain Semitic names written in Greek, or Greco-Roman names favoured because they closely resemble Semitic names in meaning or in sound. Names are among the most important witnesses to the often elusive persistence of the indigenous beneath the Greco-Roman veneer. Major issues of cultural interaction are therefore posed by the material to be collected in this volume. The present proposal incorporates a fifth conference-plus-volume in the established LGPN series, at which leading experts will tackle these issues with the aid of the new evidence being collected by the project.LGPN has been an important presence in the field of Digital Humanities since its inception, most recently since a major conversion of the database to allow full online searching on the basis of (e.g.) location, time, and status. But at present it provides only raw data, the names themselves, for historical linguists. Professor Sophie Minon of Lyon has proposed to collaborate with LGPN to produce a 'linguistic extension' to the database which will provide the missing linguistic analysis and allow e.g. all the innumerable compounds containing a given semantic element such as Leo-/-leos to be viewed together. We will collaborate with Professor Minon's team to add this major new component to the database. This will make it as indispensable a working tool for linguists (Greek and comparative) as it is already for historians.

希腊人名词典(LGPN)项目旨在创建和传播全面和权威的个人姓名证据收集，从而释放这些姓名所包含的潜力，用于对古希腊生活的方方面面进行创新研究。它涵盖了从最早的历史记录(公元前8世纪)到拜占庭早期(公元7世纪)的时期。LGPN不仅仅是关于名字，也是关于人。每一个名字的持有者都被包括在内。因此，它是研究社会史大部分方面的基本工具。已出版的七卷LGPN(第八卷正在编写中)已经成为任何古代历史学家工具箱中最重要的物品之一。通过一系列的会议和出版物，LGPN在文学学者、社会历史学家以及金石学家中鼓励了名词意识和研究的繁荣。本申请的第一个目标是编写第九卷，涵盖罗马时代的叙利亚、犹太、阿拉伯、奥斯罗尼亚和美索不达米亚等省(以下简称RNE[罗马近东])，以及所谓的“希腊远东”(伊朗、巴克特里亚、印度)。我们目前估计涉及的名字数量约为30,000个，即需要250-300页对开页的规模。与前几卷不同的是，新的卷将处理大量可用希腊语和拉丁语以外的语言(主要是叙利亚语、希伯来语、各种阿拉姆语和阿拉伯语方言，以及规模小得多的巴比伦楔形文字)提供证据的地区：一些希腊名字出现在希腊以外的语言中，一些以希腊出现的非希腊名字(因此属于我们的职权范围)也出现在非希腊来源中。这是一个艰难的新挑战和新机遇，我们将招聘一名受过闪米特语言培训的研究人员，并征求众多专家的建议。在处理用希腊语记录的非希腊语名称时，一个新的出发点将是在已知的情况下用它们所属的语言给出它们的形式(转录)，并在所述名称注册的那些语言中(如果可用)给出参考。因此，我们将在两类证据之间架起一座桥梁，这两类证据往往因语言障碍而被分开。大部分材料将来自RNE，(不包括沿海地区)是罗马帝国时期的材料。即使当希腊语(和拉丁语)铭文开始大量出现时，它们往往包含用希腊语写成的闪米特人的名字，或者希腊罗马人的名字，因为它们在意义或声音上与闪米特人的名字非常相似。名字是最重要的证据之一，证明了希腊-罗马表象下的土著居民往往难以捉摸地坚持下去。因此，本卷将收集的材料提出了文化互动的主要问题。本提案包括已建立的LGPN系列中的第五次会议和卷，会上主要专家将借助项目收集的新证据解决这些问题。LGPN自成立以来一直是数字人文领域的重要存在，最近一次是数据库的重大转换，以允许根据(例如)进行全面在线搜索地点、时间和状态。但目前，它只为历史语言学家提供了原始数据，即名字本身。里昂大学的索菲·米农教授提议与LGPN合作，为数据库制作一份“语言扩展”，该数据库将提供缺失的语言分析，并允许一起查看包含给定语义元素(如leo-/-leos)的所有无数复合词。我们将与Minon教授的团队合作，将这一主要的新组件添加到数据库中。这将使它成为语言学家(希腊语和比较语言学家)不可或缺的工作工具，就像它已经成为历史学家的工具一样。
