Some 340 Aramaic ostraca of the Persian and Hellenistic periods
have been excavated at 32 sites in Israel, from Yokneam in the
north to Eilat in the south, with Arad and Beersheba being the main
contributory sites. By far, however, the largest cache of texts is
what has come to be known as “the Idumean ostraca”. These did
not come from formal excavations but began to appear on the
antiquities market in 1991. Since then, some 2,000 ostraca have
reached 9 museums and libraries and 21 private collections. Of
these, the majority are still not formally published, and in this
volume (and those to follow), Bezalel Porten undertakes to provide
a comprehensive edition of all these texts, in many cases as an
editio princeps. Porten, with the expert epigraphic assistance of
Ada Yardeni and hand-copies by her as well, here provides the first
volume of texts, organized by “dossier” based on the primary
personage cited in the text. Color photographs (where available),
ceramic descriptions, hand-copies, transcription, translation, and
commentary are provided for each text, along with figures and
tables, and introductions and summaries of each dossier. An
included CD contains a catalogue of all the texts and three color
key-word-in-context concordances, for words, personal names, and
months for the entire corpus. This publication will become the
primary resource for information on these texts.
