The Lexicon of Greek Personal Names (LGPN) project seeks to create and disseminate a comprehensive and authoritative collection of personal name evidence, and so unlock the potential contained in such names for innovative research into every aspect of ancient Greek life. It covers the period from the earliest historical records (8th century BC) to the early Byzantine period (7th century AD). Its database drawn from the whole sweep of classical sources - everything from archaic graffiti to Church Councils - is LGPN's unique, irreplaceable asset: some 400,000 documented individuals. 'Greek' in Greek Personal Names here refers not just to the modern country Greece, but to all regions where Greeks settled and left their imprint: throughout the Mediterranean, in the Balkans and Black Sea and in parts of the Middle East. It should not be forgotten that more than half the Roman empire was Greek-speaking.The six published volumes have progressively documented the names, origins, dates, relationships and statuses of 300,944 ancient Greeks. Those volumes and one in preparation have covered all those regions of the Greek world where the evidence is predominantly written in Greek and Latin, except inland Asia Minor (the subject of the present proposal). LGPN is not just about names but about people. Every attested bearer of a name is included, so that entries vary greatly in length from single-bearer entries to lists running into three figures; there will be more than 400,000 individuals when the coverage of Asia Minor is completed. It is thus a fundamental tool for research into most aspects of social history. The published LGPN volumes have already established themselves among the most essential items in any ancient historian's toolbox. Through a succession of conferences and publications, LGPN has encouraged a boom in onomastic awareness and research, among literary scholars and social historians as well as epigraphists. The first objective of the present application is to prepare an eighth volume covering inland Asia Minor (i.e . Northern Lycia, Pisidia, Phrygia, Galatia, Inner Pontus and Paphlagonia, Lycaonia, Cappadocia, and Commagene) and thus to bring a major phase of the project to a conclusion. Inland Asia Minor poses intriguing questions in relation to which the evidence of names is vital. Greek influence made itself felt later here than on the coast, and indigenous traditions of culture and naming are correspondingly tenacious; on the other hand, an entirely new population group, the Galatians, entered the region in the third century BC. Huge Roman estates dominated much of the region and left many onomastic traces of the Romanization process; but it is also one of the great arenas for the study of the growth of Christianity in both its orthodox and 'heretical' forms. The present proposal incorporates a fourth conference-plus-volume, at which leading experts will tackle these issues with the aid of the new evidence being collected by the project. By a happy chance, an AHRC-supported research project in Oxford (AH/GO10889/1: Dr P. Thonemann) has been preparing for publication the most important new cache of documents from the region to become available for many years. Close collaboration between the two enterprises will continue. The value of such a work is cumulative. Increasing its scope by, say, 15% increases its value as a research tool by much more than 15%. But this added value can be fully realised only by making the data-base available for searching in as many ways as possible by as many constituencies as possible. We will expand what is already an important searchable website by creating interoperability with other major databases, so that, for example, a researcher looking at a name on a vase or coin will, at a click, be able to summon up all the other evidence for that name; or a student of an ancient site will likewise be able to call up all the evidence for names at the site.

希腊人名词典 (LGPN) 项目旨在创建和传播全面、权威的人名证据集合，从而释放这些名字所蕴含的潜力，对古希腊生活的各个方面进行创新研究。它涵盖了从最早的历史记录（公元前8世纪）到拜占庭时期早期（公元7世纪）的时期。 LGPN 的数据库取自所有古典资料——从古老的涂鸦到教会理事会——是其独特的、不可替代的资产：大约 400,000 名记录在案的个人。希腊人名中的“希腊人”不仅指现代国家希腊，还指希腊人定居并留下印记的所有地区：整个地中海、巴尔干半岛和黑海以及中东部分地区。不应忘记，一半以上的罗马帝国是说希腊语的。已出版的六卷书逐步记录了 300,944 名古希腊人的姓名、起源、日期、关系和地位。这些卷和正在编写的卷涵盖了希腊世界所有证据主要以希腊语和拉丁语写成的地区，但小亚细亚内陆地区（本提案的主题）除外。 LGPN 不仅仅关乎名字，还关乎人。每个经证明的名字持有者都被包括在内，因此条目的长度变化很大，从单一持有者条目到长达三位数的列表；当小亚细亚的覆盖完成时，人口将超过40万人。因此，它是研究社会历史大多数方面的基本工具。出版的 LGPN 卷已经成为古代历史学家工具箱中最重要的物品之一。通过一系列的会议和出版物，LGPN 鼓励了文学学者、社会历史学家以及金石学家的专名意识和研究的蓬勃发展。本申请的第一个目标是编写涵盖小亚细亚内陆（即北利西亚、皮西迪亚、弗里吉亚、加拉太、内本都和帕夫拉戈尼亚、利考尼亚、卡帕多西亚和科马吉尼）的第八卷，从而使项目得出结论。小亚细亚内陆提出了一些有趣的问题，在这些问题上，地名证据至关重要。希腊的影响在这里比在沿海地区出现得更晚，而本土的文化和命名传统也相应地顽强。另一方面，一个全新的人口群体——加拉太人——在公元前三世纪进入了该地区。巨大的罗马庄园占据了该地区的大部分地区，并留下了许多罗马化过程的专名痕迹。但它也是研究正统和“异端”形式的基督教发展的重要场所之一。目前的提案包括第四次会议加卷，会上顶尖专家将借助该项目收集的新证据来解决这些问题。一个幸运的机会是，牛津大学 AHRC 支持的一个研究项目（AH/GO10889/1：P. Thonemann 博士）一直在准备出版该地区多年来最重要的新文档。两家企业之间的密切合作将继续下去。这样的作品的价值是累积的。例如，将其范围扩大 15%，其作为研究工具的价值就会增加 15% 以上。但只有让数据库可供尽可能多的选区以尽可能多的方式进行搜索，才能充分实现这种附加价值。我们将通过与其他主要数据库建立互操作性来扩展已经是一个重要的可搜索网站，这样，例如，研究人员在查看花瓶或硬币上的名字时，只需点击一下，就能够调出所有其他证据为了那个名字；或者一个古代遗址的学生同样能够调出该遗址名称的所有证据。
