Polis Integration and Eipgraphic Culture

本文的目的是明确阿提卡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。迄今为止，铭文一直被视为文本。铭文学家和历史学家认为，铭文在古代被解读为文本，他们自己也将铭文解读为文本。因此，他们主要关心的是文本所写的内容。然而，本研究并非简单地以碑文为文本。但将其作为信息传递的载体之一，关注其伪装的意义、存在及其社会功能。在以前的时代，碑文被从石碑上挤下来作为文字阅读，但在这项研究中，被挤下来的碑文将被放回石碑上，而石碑将被放回它们原来的位置。通过这样做，我试图阅读碑文信息和非文本信息的全部含义。结论如下：1)一块石碑不仅包含文字信息，还包含非文字信息，如石碑的形状、材料、放置位置、大字、ΘEOI、浮雕、制作成本等。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，在一块石碑上，不仅有公共记录，也有私人不可告人的动机，野心、欲望和希望交织在一起。3)铭文叙事分两种不同语境；主要语境和次要语境。他们之间经常有隔阂。因此，铭文不仅用于记录和发送信息，而且还用于说服人们，约束人们，并将人们引导到一定的方向（为了将人们整合为一个城邦）。

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).
