Palmyrene epigraphy after PAT, 1996-2011

Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the Palmyrene Aramaic inscriptions published since the appearance of Delbert R. Hillers’ and Eleonora Cussini’s landmark volume on Palmyrene epigraphy (Palmyrene Aramaic Texts, Baltimore 1996). Nearly 200 new inscriptions have been published over the past 15 years, adding to the corpus overall. the main categories of Palmyrene epigraphy are well represented (funerary, honorific, dedicatory), but this addenda to the corpus comprises unique texts, such as documents on the princes of Palmyra, an extraordinary wooden tablet found in a cave on the island of Soqotra, as well as more common inscriptions, such as new examples of foundation and concession inscriptions and many more simple epitaphs.
