Lexicon of Greek Personal Names

希腊人名词典（LGPN）项目旨在创建和传播一个全面而权威的人名证据集，从而释放这些名字中包含的潜力，以创新研究古希腊生活的各个方面。它涵盖了从最早的历史记录（公元前世纪）到拜占庭早期（公元世纪）的时期。它的数据库来自整个古典来源-从古老的涂鸦到教会理事会-是LGPN独特的，不可替代的资产：大约40万记录在案的个人。这里的希腊人名中的“希腊”不仅指现代国家希腊，而且指希腊人定居并留下印记的所有地区：整个地中海，巴尔干半岛和黑海以及中东部分地区。不应忘记，罗马帝国一半以上的人都说希腊语。出版的六卷书逐步记录了300，944名古希腊人的姓名、起源、日期、关系和地位。这些卷和一个正在编写的涵盖了所有这些地区的希腊世界的证据主要是书面在希腊语和拉丁语，除了内陆小亚细亚（本建议的主题）。LGPN不仅仅是关于名字，而是关于人。每一个被证实的名字持有人都包括在内，因此条目的长度从单一持有人条目到三位数的名单差别很大;当小亚细亚的覆盖范围完成时，将有40多万人。因此，它是研究社会历史大多数方面的基本工具。出版的LGPN卷已经成为任何古代历史学家工具箱中最重要的项目之一。通过一系列的会议和出版物，LGPN鼓励了文学学者和社会历史学家以及金石学家对专名学的认识和研究。本申请的第一个目的是准备覆盖内陆小亚细亚（即，北方吕西亚、皮西底亚、弗里吉亚、加拉提亚、内本都和帕夫拉哥尼亚、吕考哥尼亚、卡帕多西亚和科马涅），从而结束项目的主要阶段。内陆小亚细亚提出了有趣的问题，其中名称的证据至关重要。希腊的影响在这里比在沿海地区更晚，当地的文化和命名传统也相应地顽强;另一方面，一个全新的人口群体，加拉太人，在公元前世纪进入该地区。巨大的罗马庄园统治了该地区的大部分地区，并留下了许多罗马化过程的专名学痕迹;但它也是研究基督教在正统和“异端”形式中发展的重要场所之一。目前的建议包括第四次会议加卷，在该项目收集的新证据的帮助下，领先的专家将解决这些问题。一个幸运的机会是，一个由人权委员会支持的牛津研究项目（AH/GO 10889/1：P. Thonemann博士）一直在准备出版该地区多年来最重要的新文件。两家企业之间的密切合作将继续下去。这样一部作品的价值是累积的。比如说，将其范围扩大15%，其作为研究工具的价值就会增加15%以上。但是，只有使数据库可供尽可能多的选民以尽可能多的方式进行搜索，才能充分实现这一附加值。我们将通过创建与其他主要数据库的互操作性来扩展已经是一个重要的可搜索网站，因此，例如，研究人员在查看花瓶或硬币上的名称时，只需点击一下，就可以召集所有其他关于该名称的证据;或者一个古代遗址的学生也可以在该遗址中调用所有关于名称的证据。

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). Its database drawn from the whole sweep of classical sources - everything from archaic graffiti to Church Councils - is LGPN's unique, irreplaceable asset: some 400,000 documented individuals. 'Greek' in Greek Personal Names here refers not just to the modern country Greece, but to all regions where Greeks settled and left their imprint: throughout the Mediterranean, in the Balkans and Black Sea and in parts of the Middle East. It should not be forgotten that more than half the Roman empire was Greek-speaking.The six published volumes have progressively documented the names, origins, dates, relationships and statuses of 300,944 ancient Greeks. Those volumes and one in preparation have covered all those regions of the Greek world where the evidence is predominantly written in Greek and Latin, except inland Asia Minor (the subject of the present proposal). LGPN is not just about names but about people. Every attested bearer of a name is included, so that entries vary greatly in length from single-bearer entries to lists running into three figures; there will be more than 400,000 individuals when the coverage of Asia Minor is completed. It is thus a fundamental tool for research into most aspects of social history. The published LGPN volumes 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 an eighth volume covering inland Asia Minor (i.e . Northern Lycia, Pisidia, Phrygia, Galatia, Inner Pontus and Paphlagonia, Lycaonia, Cappadocia, and Commagene) and thus to bring a major phase of the project to a conclusion. Inland Asia Minor poses intriguing questions in relation to which the evidence of names is vital. Greek influence made itself felt later here than on the coast, and indigenous traditions of culture and naming are correspondingly tenacious; on the other hand, an entirely new population group, the Galatians, entered the region in the third century BC. Huge Roman estates dominated much of the region and left many onomastic traces of the Romanization process; but it is also one of the great arenas for the study of the growth of Christianity in both its orthodox and 'heretical' forms. The present proposal incorporates a fourth conference-plus-volume, at which leading experts will tackle these issues with the aid of the new evidence being collected by the project. By a happy chance, an AHRC-supported research project in Oxford (AH/GO10889/1: Dr P. Thonemann) has been preparing for publication the most important new cache of documents from the region to become available for many years. Close collaboration between the two enterprises will continue. The value of such a work is cumulative. Increasing its scope by, say, 15% increases its value as a research tool by much more than 15%. But this added value can be fully realised only by making the data-base available for searching in as many ways as possible by as many constituencies as possible. We will expand what is already an important searchable website by creating interoperability with other major databases, so that, for example, a researcher looking at a name on a vase or coin will, at a click, be able to summon up all the other evidence for that name; or a student of an ancient site will likewise be able to call up all the evidence for names at the site.
