The first study devoted to the history of the inscriptions of Aphrodisias was a small volume by J. M. R. Cormack, Notes on the History of the Inscribed Monuments of Aphrodisias (Reading, 1955), written while he was preparing the inscriptions recorded by his teacher, William Calder, for publication (as MAMA 8). The relevance of such material was illuminated by the work of Louis Robert; this was reflected in the discussion of visitors to Caria in J. and L. Robert, La Carie II, and to Aphrodisias in Hellenica 13, 109-16; the background to one group of texts was set out by J. M. Reynolds, A&R Appendix II, 147-8. Since then, new material has emerged; what follows is an account of the current state of our knowledge.

In the Byzantine period, probably in the ninth century, at least two, possibly three epigrams inscribed at the site were included in the Greek Anthology (Anthologia Palatina 9.704, 16.35, and perhaps 7.690); see H. Beckby, Anthologia Graeca (Munich, 1957) I.2, 75 ff. They may may have been transcribed from the stone by a Byzantine copyist; but it is also possible that they circulated separately within the literary tradition.

1705-16

William Sherard (See DNB entry), while British Consul at Smyrna, visited the site on two occasions; his own and related notebooks are in the British Library, bound as BL Add. 10101-2. Understanding of his copies has been transformed by the work of Michael Crawford; see: M. H. Crawford, Diocletian's jigsaw puzzles: autopsy and progress, in T. P. Wiseman (ed.), Classics in Progress (London: The British Academy, 2002), 145-163 and M. H. Crawford, William Sherard and the Prices Edict, Revue Numismatique 159 (2003), 83-107.

1705, 19 to 23 August

Sherard visited several sites, including Geira/Aphrodisias, accompanied by Rev. John Tisser, Mr. Cutts Lockwood, Mr. John Lethieullier and Dr. Antonio Picenini. Picenini kept a diary (BL Add. 6269, ff 38-49) and made copies (BL Add. 10102, ff. 12-53; Aphrodisias 13-36); he also transcribed the copies made by Tisser (10102, ff. 53-81, Aphrodisias 53-56v, 61v-68, 71-77). Sherard made some copies of his own (BL Add. 10101 ff 9-21, Aphrodisias 9-16v); he also transcribed the copies made by Picenini (ff. 22-67, Aphrodisias 24-48v). The resultant MS (BL Add. 10101, ff. 9-78v), is referred to by Boeckh as Cod. Ask 1. Picenini also gave a copy of the inscriptions he had copied to E. Spanheim, the Prussian Ambassador to London, and this is now in the Staatsbibliothek, Berlin (MS Spanhem. 11); this was also consulted by Boeckh in the preparation of Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum II.2.

1716

Sherard went on an expedition around June 20 with Rev. Dr. S. Lisle, (BL Add. 10101 ff. 68-78); he did not visit Aphrodisias. He set off on a second expedition, from 5-25 July, with Dr. Lisle, Mr. Vandervecht, and J.C., probably Jos. Clotterboke (10101, 119-131v, Cod. Ask. 3) as well as Bernard Mould (whose diary is BL Add. 65412); this took him to Aphrodisias on 6 July, and almost all the inscriptions copied on that expedition are from there (10101, 120-131).

Picenini's and Sherard's copies were used by E. Chishull, Antiquitates Asiaticae Christianam Aeram antecedentes (London, 1728). Sherard's papers were consulted in London by Karl Müller on behalf of Boeckh, for the preparation of Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum II.2: see K. Müller, Briefwechsel zwischen August Boeckh und Karl Otfried Müller (Leipzig, 1883).

1750, 1-3 October

Robert 'Palmyra' Wood (See DNB entry) visited the site and copied some twenty texts; these copies were never published, but are all of texts which have been published elsewhere. The papers are now in the possession of the Society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies http://www.sas.ac.uk/icls/Hellenic/, who kindly allowed us to study and copy them. See C. A. Hutton, The travels of Palmyra Wood in 1750-51, Journal of Hellenic Studies 30 (1927), 102-128, 119; L. Robert, Hellenica 13, 114.

1782

Domenico Sestini spent three days at Aphrodisias; his copies were published, Sestini , Viaggi e opusculi diversi di Domenico Sestini (Berlin, 1807), and used by Boeckh in Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum II.2.

1812

J-P. Gandy-Deering (See DNB entry), an architect employed by the Society of Dilettanti, visited Aphrodisias. His copies were published by William Leake, Inscriptions from Aphrodisias, Transactions of the Royal Society of Literature (1843), 232-45, 288-303, and republished by W. H. Waddington, Inscriptions grecques et latines (LBW) We are very grateful to the late Madame Jeanne Robert for the gift of Deering's copies, which can now be consulted on the web at /notebooks/deering/

1816

Otto von Richter visited the site; see the edition of his papers by J. P. G. Ewers, Wallfahrten in Morgenlande (Berlin, 1822). His epigraphic copies were published by J. V. Francke, Griechische und lateinische Inscriften, gesammelt von Otto Fr.Richter (Berlin, 1830), and used by Boeckh in Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum II.2. See L.Robert, Hellenica 13, 113.

1820s

H.P. Borrell (See DNB entry), resident in Smyrna, obtained an inscription from Aphrodisias, a copy of which he sent to Boeckh: see D. Whitehead, From Smyrna to Stewartstown: a numismatist's epigraphic notebook, Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy 99c (1999), 73-117, 104-5

1835

C.-F. M. Texier copied inscriptions, incidentally to his surveying and drawing of buildings at Aphrodisias; these were published in volume III of Texier , Description de l'Asie Mineure faite par ordre du Gouvernement Français, de 1833 à 1837, et publiée par le Ministère de l'Instruction publique. Ouvrage Dédié au Roi (Paris, 1839-49).

1835

A. Boeckh used copies by Picenini, Sherard, Sestini, von Richter, H. P. Borrell, and others sent by D. Raoul-Rochette (see L. Robert, Hellenica 13, 131) and some unnamed correspondents in publishing the inscriptions of Aphrodisias in volume II.2 of A. Boeckh et al., Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum (Berlin, 1835).

1840

Sir Charles Fellows (See DNB entry) visited Aphrodisias; his copies tend to be unreliable compared, for example, to those of Sherard. He published them very promptly, in C. Fellows, An Account of Discoveries in Lycia (London, 1841); they were used in the addenda published in CIG II.3. Of these a page is preserved among the papers of Samuel kept in the Greek and Roman Department of the British Museum (to whom I am grateful for access). Page 515 has been annotated (in pencil), 'The hand of Sir C. Fellows'. It contains the transcriptions of two texts headed 'Priene' (P.Le Bas, W.H.Waddington, Voyage archéologique en Grèce et en Asie Mineure, fait pendant les années 1834 et 1844 (Paris 1847-1877) 205, Corpus Inscriptionum Graecarum 2904), and then the heading 'Aphrodisias', followed by the transcriptions of MAMA 8, 550 and 564 (published by Fellows as nos. 48, 47).

1841

H. Loew, naturalist (see J. and L. Robert, La Carie II, 59) visited the site. His copies were edited and published by J. Franz, Inscriptiones Graecae, Annali dell'Istituto di Correspondenza Archeologica 19 (1847), 105-31, referred to in CIG IV in 1856, and and republished by W. H. Waddington, LBW, in 1870.

1842

J. K. Bailie (See DNB entry) visited the site. In an account of his visit, J. K. Bailie, Researches amongst the inscribed monuments of the Graeco-Roman Era in certain ancient sites of Asia Minor, Transactions of the Royal Irish Academy 21 (1843), 11-65, with 76-86, 32, he states clearly that he copied 'only fifteen or twenty of these records'; of the forty-one inscriptions which he subsequently published, J. K. Bailie, Fasciculus Inscriptionum Graecarum (London and Dublin, 1846), at least twenty are clearly from earlier publications; for his unreliability, see L. Robert, Hellenica 13, 152-4. He also used copies supplied to him by H. P. Borrell; see D. Whitehead, From Smyrna to Stewartstown: a numismatist's epigraphic notebook, Proceedings of the Royal Irish Academy 99c (1999), 73-117.

1843

1874

K. G. Anthopoulos recorded four texts formerly from Aphrodisias but by then at Pirlibey, and published them, Anthopoulos , Homeros III (1875), 80; it was presumably he who sent a squeeze of one of these texts to A. Papadopoulos-Kerameus, who published it in Athenische Mitteilungen 5 (1880), 340, no. 12.

Paul Gaudin, Comptes rendus des séances de l’année de l’Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres (1904), 703-11. Gaudin copied and squeezed over 200 inscriptions; these were published from his records by T. Reinach, Inscriptions d'Aphrodisias, Revue des Etudes Grecques 19 (1906), 79-150, 205-98; Reinach also consulted the Kubitschek and Reichel records. Gaudin's squeezes are now in the possession of the Sorbonne, to whom we are very grateful for access and photographs.

1905

First Gaudin, and, after he was called away, G. Mendel excavated at Aphrodisias; see Mendel , Seconde note sur les fouilles executées à Aphrodisias par M. Paul Gaudin. Campagne de 1905, Comptes rendus des séances de l’année de l’Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres (1906), 158-84, and M. Collignon, Les fouilles d'Aphrodisias, Revue de l’art ancien et moderne 19 (1906), 33-50. Mendel published two inscriptions with his publication of statues found at Aphrodisias, Mendel , Musées Imperiaux Ottomans. Catalogue des sculptures grecques, romaines et byzantines (Constantinople, 1914), and passed several more on to H. Grégoire who published them as well as other, previously published, texts, in Recueil des inscriptions grecques-chrétiennes d'Asie Mineure (Paris, 1922).

1913

A. Boulanger excavated at Aphrodisias, principally in the area of the Hadrianic Baths; see A. Boulanger, Notes sur les fouilles executées en 1913 à Aphrodisias, Comptes rendus des séances de l’année de l’Académie des inscriptions et belles-lettres (1914), 33-50.

B contains fair copies of the inscriptions found in 1905 and 1913, clearly prepared with a view to publication. We are very grateful to the late Madame Jeanne Robert for the gift of these notebooks. One text was published from these by B. Haussoullier, Revue de Philologie 44 (1920), 72-74. More texts were published from Boulanger's notebooks by L. Robert: Inscriptions grecques d'Asie Mineure. II. Inscription d'Aphrodisias, Anatolian Studies Buckler (Manchester, 1939), 227-48 (= L.Robert, Opera Minora Selecta, I-VII (Amsterdam 1969-1990) I, 611-32) and Épigrammes d'Aphrodisias in Hellenica 4, 127-135.

W. M. Calder, with L. I. Higby and A. B. Birnie, recorded inscriptions at Aphrodisias as part of the Monumenta Asiae Minoris Antiqua project. A second expedition, by W.H. Buckler and L. Robert, was planned for 1935, but was prevented by the political situation. One text was published by Calder , Silius Italicus in Asia, Classical Review 49 (1935), 216-7; one was sent to L. Robert by W. H. Buckler, and published in Les gladiateurs dans l'Orient grec , no. 156; another was published by J. M. R. Cormack, Epigraphic evidence for the water supply of Aphrodisias, The Annual of the British School at Athens 49 (1954), 9-10. All the texts which the 1934 expedition copied were eventually published, after the deaths of Buckler and Calder, by J. M. R. Cormack.

1937-8

An Italian expedition directed by G. Jacopi, excavated at Aphrodisias. G. Jacopi's publication, Gli scavi della missione archeologica italiana in Afrodisiade, Monumenti antichi. 38 (1939-40), 85ff includes the inscriptions they found.

Cormack transcribed copies made by Hirschfeld, Kubitschek and Reichel from the archives in Vienna, as Cormack , Inscriptions from Aphrodisias, The Annual of the British School at Athens 59 (1964), 16-29; this provoked a very full analysis by L. Robert, Inscriptions d'Aphrodisias, Antiquité Classique 36 (1966), 337-432 (= L. Robert, Opera Minora Selecta, VI, 1-56).

The Current Excavations

The New York University excavation began in 1961. Reports on the excavations appeared in the American Journal of Archaeology, Anatolian Studies, Fasti archaeologici, the Illustrated London News and Türk Arkeoloji Dergisi. A full bibliography up to 1986 was published in

J. de la Genière et K. T. Erim edd., Aphrodisias de Carie: Colloque Lille 1985 (Paris 1987), 159-165

This was supplemented by further bibliographies in

C. Roueché and K. T. Erim edd, Aphrodisias Papers, Journal of Roman Archaeology Monograph 1 (Ann Arbor, 1990)
