Catalogue of the Greek Inscriptions in the Sudan National Museum at Khartoum

With only the single exception, all the Greek inscriptions kept in the Sudan National Museum at Khartoum are epitaphs, which means that the study of Greek inscriptions in the Museum is primarily the study of Christian Nubian funerary inscriptions. The inscriptions come from the entire territory of the Sudanese Nubia from Faras in the North to Soba in the South; but the main regions for excavations of these artefacts are around the Second Nile Cataract, Old Dongola and its vicinity, the area of Gebel Barak and the area of Abu Hamed. The author expands the catalogue to include a thorough treatise concerning the material and forms of support of the funerary artefacts; the script of the inscriptions themselves; the formulaic language deployed by the Nubians; the formulaic nature of the epitaphs including prayers, and (as far as can be ascertained) the dating system used by some of the inscriptions. The title contains 80 Black and White plates of the Inscriptions under discussion.
