The formula 'for the life of' is often found in votive
inscriptions, cast in Aramaic and other languages, which originate
from the Syrian-Mesopotamian desert and adjacent areas and which
roughly date from the first three centuries A.D. They belong to
objects like statues and altars that usually were erected in
temples and other structures with a ritual or sacred function. The
inscriptions establish a relationship between the dedicator and one
or more beneficiaries, those persons for whose life the dedication
was made.
Since the social context evidently bears on both the meaning of the
inscriptions as well as the status of the dedications, this volume
deals with the nature of the relationships and the socio-religious
function the dedications perform.
