S. Čače, A. Johnston, B. Kirigin, and L. Šešelj, A Corpus of Greek Graffiti from Dalmatia (Bulletin of the Institute of Classical Studies Supplement, 145), Institute of Classical Studies, 2022, 370 pages. ISBN: 978-1-905670-98-7.
This volume is a corpus of seven hundred Greek graffiti on ceramic artefacts from sixteen sites in Dalmatia, ranging in date from the late sixth to the first century BC. Most notably, the catalogue contains a substantial number of pieces from recent excavations at the two sanctuaries of Diomedes, on the central Adriatic islet of Palagruža and the windswept Cape Ploča. Appearing here in publication for the first time, other than in preliminary reports, the size of these two corpora puts them on a level with other published sites of significance including Naukratis and Gravisca, providing an important contribution to Greek epigraphy. As texts, the materials covered in this volume offer insights into dialect usage and letter forms, and comparisons are made with material from related sites elsewhere.
