This is the eighth 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 third of three
volumes that comprise the personal names attested in Asia Minor:
this particular volume is concerned with its interior,
incorporating the ancient regions of Phrygia, the
Kibyratis/Kabalis, Milyas, Pisidia, Galatia, Lykaonia, Isauria,
Kappadokia, Paphlagonia, Pontos, and Armenia Minor. In contrast to
its coastal regions, inland Asia Minor was untouched by Greek
settlement until after the conquests of Alexander the Great, and
Greeks and Romans were but two comparatively late entrants into
this multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, and multi-cultural world.
Comparatively little of the documentation predates the period of
the Roman Empire but the surviving sources document a large number
of non-Greek names originating in the languages of the indigenous
peoples, which are of particular interest. Some of them are
descended from the Hittite-Luwian languages spoken in Anatolia in
the second and early first millennia BC, while others reveal the
influence of a foreign ruling class, whether the Persians in
Kappadokia or the Celts who settled in what became known as Galatia
in the third century BC. This volume provides the raw material that
allows us to see how Greek and, later, Italian names entered into
the name stock of these indigenous peoples, and also the varying
resilience of native naming practices from one region to another as
one aspect of those processes of acculturation labelled as
'hellenization' and 'Romanization'. It documents more than 42,500
individuals bearing in excess of 7,300 different names and includes
a detailed Introduction which addresses the definition of each of
the regions and their cultural identity, guides the user through
some of the problems of geography and language, and provides
detailed statistics that point to interesting regional patterns.
