This is the seventh volume of the Lexicon of Greek Personal Names
to be published, a work which offers comprehensive documentation of
named individuals in the Greek-speaking world in the period from c.
700 BC to 600 AD, drawn from all sources (predominantly written in
Greek and to a lesser extent in Latin). It is the second of three
volumes that comprise the personal names attested in Asia Minor.
This particular volume is concerned with its southern coast,
incorporating the ancient regions of Caria, Lycia, Pamphylia, and
Cilicia, and thus completes coverage of the coastal regions.
The volume documents more than 44,500 individuals who between them
bore in excess of 8,400 different names. In contrast to those parts
of Asia Minor facing the Aegean, Propontis, and Black Sea, there
was little Greek settlement along the southern coast. So, in this
volume particular interest attaches to the very large number of
non-Greek names originating in the languages of the indigenous
peoples of these regions - Carian, Lycian, Sidetic, and Pisidian -
all of them descended from the Hittite-Luwian languages spoken in
Anatolia in the second and early first millennia BC.
The volume provides the raw material that allows us to see how
indigenous names gave way first to Greek and later to Latin names,
and how the pace of these changes varies from one region to another
as one aspect of those processes of acculturation labelled as
'hellenization' and 'Romanization'. It contains a detailed
introduction which addresses the definition of each of the regions
and their cultural identity in terms both of geography and language
and onomastics. It also guides the user through some of the
problems of topography, dialect, and the treatment of non-Greek
names, as well as providing some detailed statistics that point to
interesting regional patterns.
