During the height of a massive heat wave in central Europe the air conditioning system in the server room in the building of the Seminar für Alte Geschichte und Epigraphik Heidelberg broke down, so we had to switch off all servers. As a consequence a number of websites hosted by the Seminar für Alte Geschichte und Epigraphik are down, which includes the website of the Epigraphic Database Heidelberg (EDH). We are working on the problem, but for the time being, we cannot give any details about when the website will be back online.
85 new translations of Attic inscriptions published today!
The new issue includes dedications from the cave of Apollo on the north face of the Acropolis, together with decrees honouring wealthy Athenian benefactors of the later fourth century BC.

As posted on Reuters this week and in several international newspapers today, “Archaeologists in Greece have discovered what they believe to be the oldest known extract of Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey” [on a third century CE terracotta tablet from Olympia, Greece].
Two observations on this slightly misleading lede:
Reuters include this “handout” image of the tablet:
And a higher resolution photograph of the text itself:
Questions for epigraphist and Homerist readers:
Either way, we look forward to the official publications of this material.

We’re very happy to announce that thanks to the kindness of the Institute of Classical Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London, the Current Epigraphy site has a new home, a working blog, and our unannounced hiatus of the last two and a half months is over.
Many thanks to Digital Humanities at King’s College London, who hosted the CurE site for over ten years as a service to the epigraphic community, and to the Institute of Classical Studies for taking over this role going forward. This migration has been in the works for a few months, but unfortunately the server on which the old site was hosted was taken down just before the transfer was due to happen, meaning that the database could not be copied until the problem was fixed.
But the site is back—and we welcome any announcements of epigraphic events, discoveries, publications or news, as well as more detailed discussion papers or problems, pre-prints, virtual seminars, or other items. Please get in touch.
