Description
of Entries

THE DATA OF ATHENIANS are stored in two tables in an EMPRESS database.[1] The main table (main) gives all the information about each person, including a 6-digit identifying number, the name, function (id), date, place (demotic, ethnic), and kinship where known. The reference table (refs) consists of bibliographical items, each one attesting one or more of the facts listed in main and tied to the entry in main by the shared personal 6-digit number. If there exist additional ids and kin for a person they are then listed, along with the pertinent references.[2]

Both the printed volumes and the online version give each id for a person with date, information about the person's status in Athens, and other relevant comments, followed by the references for that information, identifying the type of reference, and giving the relevant text, followed by any additional comments on the reference.[3]

Headings in the database

num  A 6-digit number unique to each entry. Gaps have been left in the sequence of numbers for addenda.

*
An asterisk (*) preceding the number indicates that the entry is an alternate name, a broken name now completed, or an over-restored name. If it is an alternate name, the principal entry is supplied in parentheses; if broken, the completed name is cited as an NB comment (see heading NB, kincom) following the id; if over-restored, the lemma of the broken name is usually cited as an NB comment.
[ ]
Brackets embracing the number signify a ghost name, i.e., a name which owes its existence to an error (demonstrated in the subjoined sequence of references and texts), or a name which is connected with Attica only by accident, e.g., an inscription which has been moved to Athens (pierre errante) or which appears in a copy of an inscription at Athens, such as a decree of the Delphian Amphiktiony. The inclusion of these names may be justified on the grounds that the database serves also as an index feminarum et virorum of the Corpora of Attic inscriptions.

name  The name of the person is written in upper-case Greek unencumbered with brackets and other epigraphical sigla. The order of the listing of the names is based on Kirchner, with the exception of persons whose citizenship or status, e.g., metics or slaves, precluded entry into Prosopographia Attica. The rules of order, outlined in Meritt and Traill, Athenian Agora, vol. XV, p. 349, section 8, are here extended with the inclusion of ethnics:

1. Simple Names
2. Names + Qualification
3. Names + Patronyms
4. Names + Phyle-Designation in alphabetical order of Phyle
5. Names + Demotic in alphabetical order of Demotic
6. Names + Ethnic in alphabetical order of Ethnic.

Metics with deme designations are included along with the citizens in category 5. Homonymous fathers and sons are here generally listed together, and there are a few other deviations, particularly within and between groups 2 and 3, the reason for which is normally obvious. A question-mark (?) following the name indicates a doubtful reading or attestation.

Minor orthographical and phonological variations have been leveled in the entry of the name, but major differences in spelling have been retained where practicable, e.g., Aphrodeisios and Aphrodisios. Cross- references (numbered in sequence with the names) will bring the variants to the user's attention, and the texts of the references in all instances should preserve the precise orthography of the variant which normally will be noted with a following exclamation point (!).

Broken names of which the first letter or letters have been preserved are listed along with the others in alphabetical order. Broken names from which the first letter or letters have been lost and where evidence for the place has been preserved will appear in the last section of the database. Broken names are listed in alphabetical order of place (demotic), phyle, and ethnic. In some instances possible identifications with other complete names in the database have been suggested. It is probable that many more of these names will, in future, be found to correspond to other entries. Indeed, their inclusion here will help further the process of identification; in any case, these fragments of names are part of the prosopographical heritage.

A single long dash (—) indicates a break of indeterminable length. A series of dashes indicates the approximate number of lost letters, a series of dots, the exact number. Modifiers of the names, such as neoteros (younger), presbyteros (older), krateros (senatorius, clarissimus), appear immediately following the name.

additional names  Roman and alternate names (viz ho kai / he kai) are supplied in parentheses ( ) and will be listed also in additional, complementary entries at the appropriate places in the database. In the case of Roman imperial titles only the titles of the first entry, i.e., of the earliest id, are supplied. For subsequent changes in titles see the texts of succeeding ids.

place  The place, i.e., demotic or ethnic, of the person appears next. Normally the place has been attributed from father to son, and vice versa, without special designation. Other attributions of place, e.g., from prosopographical identification, are marked by an asterisk (*) following the place. As with the name, minor orthographical and phonological variants have been leveled, but major variants, e.g., Milesios and Meilesios, have been preserved. Modifiers of place, such as the designations kathyperthen (Upper) and hypenerthen (Lower) with the demotics, follow the place.

phyle  The Athenian phyle or tribe follows the demotic. Independent attestation of the phyle has been distinguished from derivative attestation, i.e., assignment from demotic or other information, by marking the attributed phyle with an asterisk (*). Assignment by secretarial cycles is considered as independent attestation. For the phyle abbreviations used, see table PHYLAI.

link  Often the name has been associated with another name, which we have designated loosely as "kin". Various forms of association linking the name with a kin have been entered into the computer as a numerical link. For the possible links – the numbers used and their verbal correspondences, which have been substituted in this online format – see table LINKS. It may readily be observed from this table that some links go far beyond what is normally understood as kin.

kin  The kin-name is given in the same format as the name, viz upper-case Greek unencumbered with epigraphical sigla, etc. Where the kin has several names, e.g., Roman tria nomina, the full name is supplied without parentheses, in contrast to the entry of the name. Where a place, viz ethnic or demotic, belongs specifically to the kin, it is listed here. Often the kin is connected to another person or persons, and these extended relationships, such as on the same gravestone with —, or who is also wife of —, are given following the place of the kin.

PA, S, and D  The name is completed with the Prosopographia Attica (PA) number in parentheses. When the person has been treated in J. Sundwall's Nachträge zur Prosopographia Attica, or in J. K. Davies' Athenian Propertied Families, an S or D will also appear in the parentheses. A plus (+) or minus (-) sign following the PA number indicates a significant addition to or subtraction from the entry in Prosopographia Attica. Brackets ([ ]) surrounding the PA number indicate a correction of the name itself, for which normally another entry will appear in the database. The accompanying references and texts should in most instances make clear the nature and extent of the corrections.

NB. In this format the first listing of a person will contain the maximum amount of information with respect to the place, phyle, and kin of a person, even though not all this information may be attested in the references of the first id.

id  The ids for each name are given in chronological order, identifying functions a person performed. The most common identifiers, in order of frequency, are: ephebe, on a gravestone, bouleutes (councillor), dedicant, epengraphos (in ephebic lists), casualty, and in a catalogue. Occasionally, where the feminine form is rare or hypothetical, a masculine form, e.g. eranistes, has been used for a woman.

date, datefrom, dateto  The date immediately follows the id. The abbreviations a and p stand for ante and post Christi natum vel aetatem communem, and come last. If there is a question-mark (?) it immediately precedes them. Almost all the dates are given, as in the Corpora of inscriptions, in Latin abbreviations as follows:

in initio at the beginning f fine at the end
p in post initium after the beginning a f ante finem before the end
m medio in the middle p f post finem after the end
a m ante medium  before the middle p m post medium  after the middle
aet aetate in the age pa paullo by a little
c and ca circa approximately fe fere approximately

Roman numerals designate centuries. Circa, abbreviated "c" is arbitrarily assigned a span of 20 years (10 before and after) in datefrom and dateto, which have been designed for computer searches. If we believe the span should be narrower, we allow a window of 10 years (5 before and after), and employ the abbreviation "ca". Where the evidence indicates, a slash is interpreted as either from the middle of one century until the middle of the next or from the end of one century until the beginning of the next. Otherwise a slash is interpreted as identical to a dash, e.g., IV/III and IV-III mean either fourth or third century.

The date of a father (or mother) has been set back 30 years from the date of each id of a son (or daughter), or 20 years when the id is ephebe, and a c (circa) has been added to the newly computed date. Some of the resulting combinations, e.g., cc, cca, may seem anomalous, but they help to convey the relative degree of uncertainty, and they have a defined numerical meaning for searches. The date of the parent may readily be recovered according to the table DATE CONVERSIONS.

NB. Where the sources suggest wider or narrower parameters, e.g., some editors employ post med. saec. IV ante to include the Hellenistic and/or Roman periods, we modify accordingly, and show such modifications in the date entered in the computer database by an asterisk before (for datefrom) or after (for dateto) the Roman or Arabic numeral; these asterisks do not appear along with the date but are reflected in the "(datefrom to dateto)" notation following the date. The dates, including many new dates, are generally supplied without comment.

Following the date the span of that date, precise or approximate, has been given numerically in the form "(datefrom to dateto)". These numbers, negative (BCE) and positive (CE), have been intended to be used as rough guides for search purposes and should not be taken as precise numerical limits.

stat  The next item of the id description, status, supplies the sex, citizenship, and social status of the person, using the following abbreviations:

f femaleS slave
AAthenian citizenshipF/N manumitted or naturalized
R Roman citizenshipNAnon-Athenian or foreigner
* citizenship attributed (usually from father) outoutside Attica
M meticin inside Attica

Where appropriate, a description of the type of name, e.g., aux(illary), alt(ernate), over-restored, doubtful name, is added to the status.

NB and kincom  Following status, comments may be given, of which the most important are the directives to other entries in the database, "Possibly the same as", "Relative of" (usually specifying the relationship), etc. In the ATHENIANS project every effort has been made to be as critical and as accurate as possible in the identification of individuals. The result has been a large-scale dismemberment of the traditional identifications in Attic prosopography. Generally, only the most probable identifications have been retained within the same record, i.e., under the same number, and many of the single entries of PA have been split into separate files joined by the comment "Possibly the same as". A considerable number of new identifications have also been made under this rubric. At this stage no attempt has been made to evaluate the relative probability of the identifications supplied with the designation "Possibly to be identified with", which varies from very probable to barely possible. A few traditional, but now unlikely, identifications have been retained under this designation.

The comment "Treated in ..." directs the reader to a discussion of the individual's family, normally with stemma. In some instances the person under discussion may be an addition to the published stemmata. The listing of references such as PA, NPA, RCA, or APF, etc. does not necessarily imply acceptance of the stemmata offered in these works. Indeed, it will often be clear from the identifications and relationships proposed here that the published stemmata must be revised. The database was designed, in part, to facilitate the computerized generation of stemmata (Horos 7, 1989, p. 58). Treatment of the individual, as opposed to the family, in such works as TrGF, PCG, or Stefanes (sometimes with more documentation than offered here) is prefaced by the designation "Cf."

Other items of a more particular nature are listed at this point, viz archons of insecure date, other data on the kin including the kin's id, and comments on other parts of the record.

Each id for an individual is followed by the reference or references which attest that activity. For the larger files, e.g. Aeschines and Aeschylus, the documentation is intended to be representative rather than exhaustive. The references are laid out as follows:

refno and reftie  The refs table provides full documentation for the data in main. Items in the series of references are numbered with decimal numbers: references to different sources have a different first digit, while references to the same lemma are numbered with different decimals (eg, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3) and the second and following entries have a symbol to their left, a "reftie", to indicate the relationship of that text to the preceding one (see table REFTIE SYMBOLS).

ref and refline  The most commonly abbreviated references are those to Hesperia (H) and to the Corpus of Greek Inscriptions (Roman numerals, to which one should prefix I.G.) The page number, e.g. p18, refers to the page on which the text appears. The number following the page number, e.g., p50 18, or in the place of the page number, e.g. 18, is the text or inscription number. For a list of the abbreviations used, see the table of ABBREVIATIONS OF REFERENCES.

class  Following the line number there appears in parentheses a brief classification of the type of document. This has been entered numerically in the computer; the full listing, with the abbreviations used in the printed text, is given in the CLASS table below. Note that an asterisk (*) preceding the entry indicates a metrical text (represented by a negative number in the database).

text  The text, usually in Greek, occasionally in Latin, is supplied with full epigraphical sigla beginning on the same line as the reference, but separated by a colon. The text includes as much of the context of the inscription as is required to establish the full name and activity of the individual. In the case of a patronym or matronym, normally only the evidence for the name, place, and kin is supplied, unless the name of the kin lacks initial letters, in which instance the full text is given.

Certain modifications of conventional epigraphical practice, some of them forced on us by the computer, have been implemented in this project. Parentheses ( ) indicate supplements to original texts, whatever the reason (demonstrable or implied), for the abbreviation. NB. This involves a slight departure from the Leiden convention, and occasionally with older texts it has been difficult to determine whether there has been a correction of, or a supplement to, the lemma. Angled brackets enclose corrections to a text (the original will appear in the comment, refcom, below the text). A dot indicates only a single missing letter. A stop is indicated by a raised dot, or Greek colon. A series of three such dots signifies an abridgement of a text. No full stops are used after abbreviations in the text; these are often supplemented in parentheses.

The way in which missing letters in names are represented in main for name, place, and kin has already been mentioned (a precise number of dots, an approximate number of dashes, or a long dash for an undetermined number). See broken names under num above. When the text is given in the refs table, dots for missing letters and vacat s (⋎) for uninscribed spaces are represented as follows:

missing missing uninscribed
[.]1 letter[-]ca 1 letter1 space
[..]2 letters[--] ca 2 letters⋎⋎ 2 spaces
[.3.]3 letters[-3-] ca 3 letters ⋎3⋎ 3 spaces
[.4.] 4 letters[-4-] ca 4 letters
[---]indefinite number 
of letters 
⋎⋎⋎ undefined amount
of space

A line break is indicated by a single slash /, a metrical break which is not a line break (and is not indicated by the disposition of the text) by a vertical line |. A double slash, //, indicates a break of more than one line in a continuous text. A triple slash, ///, indicates a break of more than one line in a non-continuous text, i.e., the gap contains a lacuna. Slashes enclosing Roman numerals indicate column numbers in a text. As stated above, orthographical and phonological variant forms are followed by an exclamation point (!).

In other respects our system follows the Leiden conventions, viz brackets, [ ], enclose letters lost from ancient texts through damage, and curly brackets, { }, enclose superfluous letters added by the ancient letter-cutter. Texts legible in rasura are enclosed in double brackets, ⟦ ⟧, restored texts in rasura are marked by double plus single brackets ⟦[ ]⟧. A dot under a letter, here a small dash beginning partly under the letter and extending after it, indicates that the preserved traces are compatible with a number of letters, in addition to the one appearing in the text. An epigraphical underline, which indicates that the text depends on an earlier transcript, is indicated here by small lower half-brackets, ⌞ ⌟ .

Within the file of a person an identical text is not repeated from one id or kin to the next (normally the full text is supplied with the first entry), and the text for the file of a father, when he is immediately succeeded by his homonymous son (our normal arrangement), will be found only with the latter. A series of three tildes, ~~~, in successive references signifies that the portion or portions of the text not supplied are unchanged from the preceding entry, i.e., only changes (with enough material to identify the context) normally are supplied. The attribution of a phyle is shown by a Roman numeral within parentheses. The Roman numerals sometimes used by editors to identify homonymous members of a family have been omitted from the texts.

refcom  Following the text there may be comments on the specific reference or the text. These include where the text was found (Finding-place), notes giving the original reading of letters which have been corrected in the text (Text), and a record of a more recent publication where the text has been reprinted without additional information (Cf.). Other comments can also appear here, under the rubric NB.

Additional ids, kin

Additional ids, i.e., functions a person performed, with dates, references, and texts (if different from those of earlier ids) will follow. Finally, additional kin or relatives, with dates, references, and texts (if not previously cited) are listed. The line numbers in these instances refer to the lemmata where the additional relatives are cited.

1.1 FILE line 3
Notes:

Our first sample gives the name of this person and her main kin, her father, in the first line. This comes from the main table, with the father's demotic and phyle (see headings place and phyle and the table of PHYLAI), and the information that she is mentioned in Prosopographia Attica. Her id (see the information on heading id) in line 2 is "priestess ..." with a date, its numerical range, and her status as an Athenian (see heading stat). For the calculations involved in assigning the dating information see heading date and the table of DATE CONVERSIONS. A comment follows with a modern reference to this person.

The colors of the lines of the samples are co-ordinated with the search form (q.v.): blue background represents name information, brown information about the function or id of the person, and pink references.

After the first id, two references from the refs table are given, numbered (see heading refno, reftie), and assigned to a classification (see heading class). Reference 1.1 is from IG II, an inscription of class "ded sacr" or "sacred dedication" (see table CLASS), and 2.1 gives the text of a reading from the database files of another inscription. For the conventions used in transcribing texts see heading text above. The references together supply the evidence for the information that precedes them, and the comment on 2.1 gives further information about the location of the inscription, the date of the transcription supplied here, and, after "Cf." where the subsequent formal publication of the inscription may be found.

A second id of "on gravestone" follows, attested in another inscription this time a scuptured gravestone (for "sep sculp" see table CLASS ).

Finally we know of two other kinships for this person from the same inscription recorded in the database files for her first id, in addition to her father: she was probably also the niece of one person, and probably also the wife of another person (with a different demotic and phyle) named on the same inscription. On the treatment of such relationships, see kin, and table LINKS.

1.1 II 2024 line 3 (cat eph): Μ Ἄννιος Θράσυλλος Μ Ἀννίου / Πυθοδώρου Χολλείδου υἱὸς Χολ/λείδης
Notes:

Our second sample names a priest of Apollo who served for many years as an archetheoros in Delos, beginning in 95 CE. We have only included the first two of 9 different dates at which he performed this function, all recorded in inscriptions on Delos. After 100 CE he is also named as priest for life and a nomothetes. He has an auxiliary Roman name, Markos Annios, in addition to his Greek name ΠΥΘΟΔΩΡΟΣ and the demotic ΧΟΛΛΕΙΔΗΣ in the phyle of ΛΕΩΝΤΙΣ (for notes on the 10 phyles to which Athenians belonged, and the location of the demes included in each phyle, see the Conspectus of Demes). He has a son, also Markos Annios, with the Greek name of ΘΡΑΣΥΛΛΟΣ.

His status is given as A+R (Athenian and Roman), and his main entry in the database will be under ΠΥΘΟΔΩΡΟΣ. The record here, numbered 130830, is a listing for him under his auxiliary Roman name, and the num is therefore not in bold (cf. the main record in sample 1 above). The cross-reference to the main entry appears as a comment headed "NB see" under his first id, referring you to num 794782 for his main entry. There are also other records in the database which may mention the same person and the nums of these records are also given under the rubric "Possibly the same as".

In several inscriptions the date is established by the archon's name and this too is mentioned in the commentary, as is the fact that he is discussed in Byrne, Roman Citizens of Athens.
