Cretan Relief Pithoi in Dr. Giamalakes' Collection
Authors: Dunbabin T. J. 
Published: October 2013

Many visitors to Crete have enjoyed Dr. Giamalakes' hospitality in Heraklion and have seen the very fine collection of antiquities found on Cretan soil which he has gathered together, and it is with a lively sense of gratitude that, on his suggestion, I make some part of that collection known to those who have not had the good fortune to see it. Most of the collection is Minoan; but I begin with some of the most characteristic products of Hellenic Crete, the archaic relief pithoi.My descriptions are based on Dr. Giamalakes' own account of his pieces. The photographs are due to Mr. N. Lambrinides.These pieces offer a useful supplement to the known corpus of Cretan archaic relief pithoi. The oldest is probably 2. Certainly it exhibits an earlier composition, and is closer to Oriental models, than any of the others. A fragment of pithos from Afrati, Ann. X–XII, fig. 45, 48, has a similar representation, which might come from the same mould. For the composition compare a fragment of a stamped pithos from Perachora, with two lions on their hind legs, separated by a floral ornament. Cf. also for the composition the pithos fragment from Plati, BSA XX, pl. 5c lower, which is also like in the proportions of the animals (there headless).
Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum: Notice
Authors: Woodhead A. G. 
Published: October 2013

The twelfth and subsequent volumes of SEG will take the form of an annual review of Greek Epigraphy. As far as possible it will give references to work done during each year on or relating to Greek inscriptions, and will reprint new or emended texts. The arrangement of the contents will be by geographical areas, on the general pattern of the early volumes of SEG. The editor and publishers of SEG are confident that this will be a service which epigraphists, and classical scholars generally, will appreciate and find helpful.The editor of SEG would, therefore, be grateful if scholars who publish studies on Greek Epigraphy or substantially using epigraphic material, would send him a notice (or if possible a reprint) of their work. Their co-operation in this way would be much appreciated, and would greatly aid him and the publishers in making SEG as complete as possible.
The Churches of Molyvdoskepastos
Authors: Nicol Donald 
Published: October 2013

The village of Molyvdoskepastos stands on the north-eastern slopes of Mount Nemerçka (Merope) on the present Greek–Albanian frontier, above the valley where the Voiussa river is joined by the tributary of Sarandaporos, in the district of Pogoniani. The 19th-century travellers in Epirus and Albania seem to have passed it by as unworthy of their attentions, although the Rev. Thomas Smart Hughes (writing in 1820) remarks not only on the number of its churches ‘which appear to have been ruined and deserted for some centuries’, but also on the unparalleled incivility of its inhabitants. The character and hospitality of the villagers, despite their recent privations, appears to have improved in proportion to the steady deterioration of their homes and their ancient monuments.The village was formerly called Dipalitsa, but its present name is derived from the monastery of the Dormition of the Virgin, situated in the valley below close by a small tributary of the Voiussa river, and it was through the influence of this monastery that the village attained its importance as the seat of the archbishopric of Pogoniani. The foundation of the monastery and the establishment of the archbishopric are associated with the name of the Emperor Constantine IV Pogonatos (A.D. 668–85), and the tradition is borne out by documentary evidence which may or may not have been invented to supplement the deficiencies of the historians. The name Pogoniani, if a Slav derivation be discounted, is easily linked with the title Pogonatos: and it is supposed that the Emperor stayed in the district when returning by an overland route to Constantinople after his defeat of the usurper Mizizios in Sicily in 668.
Epigraphic Evidence for the Water-Supply of Aphrodisias
Authors: Cormack J. M. R. 
Published: October 2013

The main epigraphic evidence for the water-supply of Aphrodisias in Roman times is to be found in the fragmentary inscriptions published by Doublet and Deschamps in BCH XIV (1890), 611–13, nos. 7–10, and CIG 2782, ll. 40–2. From the former group of texts it has been assumed that two water-systems were installed, one in the time of Vespasian and the other in the time of Domitian; I hope to show that these texts refer to one water-system only, that built in the time of Domitian. From the latter passage it has sometimes been thought that M. Ulpius Carminius Claudianus paid for the laying-on of the waters of the river Timeles to the city in the age of the Antonines. This assumption rested on the false reading ὲλ[ειο]δ[ι]ὰκτο[υ]ς introduced by Boeckh. The word ὲλειοδὶὰκτος is taken to mean a ‘conduit for draining marshes’ (LS9, s.v.). Sherard's copy preserves the true reading ἒλ <α> ια δρακτοῖς πολλὰκις τεθεικὸτα. All that can be proved by the inscription is that Carminius Claudianus made several distributions of oil ὲν τῶ̣ καιρῶ̣ τῆς τοῦ Τε<ι>μὲλου ποταμοῦ εἰσαγωγῆς (l. 41); there is no proof that he paid for the construction of the aqueduct.The epigraphic evidence for the earlier water-system rests on the reconstruction of the text of which BCH XIV (1890), 611–13, nos. 7 (cf. REG XIX (1906), 223–4, no. 126), 8 and 9 are fragments; no. 10 seems to be part of another copy of this, or a similar, inscription. Of these fragments the only one found by the expedition led by Professor Calder in 1934 was no. 7; the improved readings in this inscription are from a photograph.
Inscriptions from Eskişehir and District
Authors: Macpherson I. W. 
Published: October 2013

While travelling in Turkey in 1951 as Wilson Fellow of the University of Aberdeen, I visited Eskişehir (Dorylaion) and a number of villages in that area. In the interval between Cox and Cameron's exhaustive survey of that district and my own visit, a considerable amount of new material has come to light, as is generally the case in Anatolia. The following inscriptions are of some interest:1. Eskişehir, Museum Depôt Inv. no. 186. Grey marble bomos with acroteria; slightly damaged, and badly weathered at one point in the inscribed area. Mouldings above and below. In pediment, part of an eagle, probably the eagle of Zeus; see L. Robert, RevPhil XIII (1939), 203 f.H. (visible) 1·1 m.; W. 0·49 m., (shaft) 0·36 m.; Th. 0·325 m. Letters 0·035 m. to 0·048 m.; average 0·037 m., with heavy apices and ligatures.Photograph of squeeze, Fig.The reference to Zeus Euphranor is new.
Part IV. The ‘Gallery’ in the North Wall
Authors: A. J. B. W.  , Rowe K. R. 
Published: October 2013

Almost midway between the Postern Gate and the north-west angle of the Cyclopean Walls there is against the inside of the wall a chamber with a roof in the form of an inverted V, called by Steffen on his plan ‘Galerie’. Schliemann does not refer to it, and the ‘gallery’ he mentions is the drain through the wall east of the secret cistern. Tsountas and Manatt say: ‘What had long been taken for a gallery in the north wall proves to be nothing but a little chamber measuring less than 7 by 12 feet.’In this connection it must be remembered that at Mycenae there is usually a narrow passage between the inside of the Cyclopean wall and the buildings within. The chamber mentioned has therefore probably been formed by covering this passage with an inverted V roof resting on one side against the Cyclopean Wall and on the other against the rock which rises rather steeply southwards at this point within the walls. This was probably done at a comparatively late stage in the history of the prehistoric citadel as indicated by Mr. Kenneth Rowe below.
Part VII. A Bronze Founder's Hoard
Authors: Stubbings F. H. 
Published: October 2013

The bronzes described below were found about 0·20 m. below the surface in the central part of the Prehistoric Cemetery area excavated at Mycenae in 1952. (Cf. BSA XLVIII 6f., with pl. 2—hereinafter referred to without the volume reference.) They lay together in a small heap as though they had been buried in a bag of some material which had entirely perished. The numbers attached to the objects here are those of the 1952 excavation inventory.The combination of cruciform hilt, flanged throughout, with a blade narrow but without midrib, is not very common, though there is a good L.M. III parallel from Palaikastro. Cruciform swords are rather more familiar; one from Prosymna is virtually a longer version of our dagger (44 cm. against 29) except that the flange does not continue round the butt end oil the hilt—perhaps because the larger weapon had a pommel of another material, in one piece, while for a dagger the pommel was made as part of the hilt. Other L.H. III daggers from Prosymna have the flanged hilt (not cruciform) with a broad thin blade.
Part VIII. A Winged-Axe Mould
Authors: Stubbings F. H. 
Published: October 2013

Among the burnt fill in Room 4 of the ‘House of the Oil Merchant’ at Mycenae excavated in 1952 was found one half of a stone mould for casting a winged axe, a type of implement (or weapon) otherwise unknown in Late Helladic or other contemporary Aegean contexts. The mould is made of a fine-grained grey stone. Its shape will be clear from the illustrations. The cut surface is flat, and measures 0·167 × 0·067 m.; the underside is convex: at the centre the stone is 0·038 m. thick, but at the ends only about 0·02 m. In one corner of the flat face is a small round hole, the socket for a peg or knob which would have projected from the other half of the mould (now lost) to ensure the two fitted correctly. There was probably a similar hole at the diagonally opposite corner, which has been broken away. This break fortunately does not prevent us restoring with certainty the shape of the casting that would be produced from the complete mould. This is shown below.Medial winged axes are common in the upper Danube basin and northern Italy, but rarely found farther south, and not at all in the Aegean. It is known from surviving hafts that they were usually mounted (on a knee-haft) as axes (i.e. with the cutting edge in the same plane as the handle), but they could equally well be mounted as adzes. The four ‘wings’ would be hammered round to grip the ends of the haft on either side; and the ledge or ridge (‘stop-ridge’) across the blade immediately below the wings served to prevent the butt end from driving upwards and splitting the haft.
The Aegina Treasure Reconsidered
Authors: Higgins R. A. 
Published: October 2013

The Aegina Gold Treasure in the British Museum has always been something of a mystery, because no other ancient jewellery has been found sufficiently like it to give any indication of its date or its fabric. At the time of its first appearance it was generally regarded as Late Mycenaean (i.e. L.H. III). More recently there has been a tendency to put it in the seventh century B.G., and one scholar even sees it as Phoenician. The Greek archaeologist Stais, moreover, held from the start that it was not a homogeneous deposit, but a mixture of Mycenaean and later elements. The time is clearly ripe for a thorough re-examination in the light of present archaeological knowledge.What, in fact, do we know of the circumstances of its discovery? It was offered to the British Museum in 1891 through the agency of a member of a firm of sponge-importers, and was said to have been recently found in a tomb in Aegina. Although no other details were disclosed, this find-spot is inherently reasonable, since Aegina was at that time the centre of the Greek sponge trade. The Museum bought the Treasure in the following year, and in 1893 Evans published it, but could give no further details. Indeed, he implied that since the export of all antiquities from Greece was illegal, the jewellery must have been secretly excavated and smuggled out of the country, and nothing more would ever be known.
Mycenaean occupation near the Cyclopean Terrace Building at Mycenae
Authors: French Elizabeth 
Published: October 2013

In the excavations of 1950, 1951, and 1952 the area of the Cyclopean Terrace Building was one of the major objectives. The North Megaron or Cyclopean Terrace Building proper was at first the chief point of interest and the report on this building has been published. There were also two other important buildings on the site: the South Megaron with its long terrace wall but no other remains, and the House of the Wine Merchant, which lay under and west of this terrace wall. No further work on these two buildings has been done to amplify or amend the views published in the first account.However, trenching in the general area produced, as well as these three main buildings, considerable evidence of other occupation and building which is worthy of note. Both the modern terrace walls were also investigated. The evidence is very scanty, but it seems likely that they follow the lines of ancient walls, not necessarily Mycenaean. The plan (Fig. 1) shows the areas of the exploration.
Inscriptions from Macedonia
Authors: Cormack J. M. R. 
Published: October 2013

1. Edessa. This inscription is still where Leake first reported it, in the courtyard of the Metropolitan Church, the Dormition of the Virgin, built into the south end of the west wall of the Γραφεῖον of the Δεσπότης. Although it has been published half a dozen times, the text has never been read correctly in its entirety, largely because its height from the ground makes the taking of a photograph or the making of a squeeze, let alone a study of the letters, very difficult. I was fortunate to be able to examine it in situ, and the accompanying photograph of a squeeze will facilitate the establishment of the text (Plate 5).It is a rough block, c. 0·46 m. in height and 0·50 m. in width, with a moulding all round, the first line being engraved on the upper moulding. The letters are irregular, measuring on an average 0·025 m. in ll. 1–6 and 0·01 m. in ll. 7–18. The letter-forms, especially important in a dated inscription, are noteworthy. Alpha, delta, and lambda have short tails on the apex; in ll. 1–6 epsilon is square, in ll. 7–18 lunar; similarly in ll. 1–6 sigma is square, in ll. 7–18 lunar. The forms of mu and omega are to be noted; see the accompanying photograph. There are no ligatures.
Nouvelles Tablettes en Linéaire B de Cnossos
Authors: Olivier Jean-Pierre 
Published: October 2013

Cet article continue ceux que J. Chadwick et J. T. Killen ont publiés dans BSA lvii. 46–74 et lviii. 68–88; dans l'ensemble, les mêmes règles d'édition ont été observées: elles ont toutefois été mises en accord avec celles de la troisième édition en translittération des tablettes de Cnossos; une innovation a été introduite: l'indication du scribe auquel est éventuellement attribuée la rédaction du document; enfin, si les photos des tablettes données dans les planches sont à l'échelle 1:1, les dessins au trait dans le texte sont, eux, à l'échelle 2:3.Toutes les tablettes et fragments de tablettes (numérotés de 8334 à 8751) dont il sera question se trouvent à présent au Musée archéologique d'Iraklion et proviennent, à une exception près (Wb 8711), des fouilles d'Evans, mais ont connu des fortunes diverses.Les pièces portant actuellement les numéros 8334–8492, 8501–8571, 8573–8708 et 8722–8751 étaient conservées au Musée d'Iraklion dans des tiroirs étiquetés tiroirs que J. T. Killen avait déjà partiellement exploités. La plupart de ces 396 pièces n'avaient jamais été éditées auparavant; la plupart seulement, car 49 d'entre elles se sont révélées être des fragments de la série des 5000, qui avaient été copiés par E. L. Bennett en 1950 mais qui s'étaient égarés depuis.
Themistokles' Archonship
Authors: Wade-Gery H. T. 
Published: October 2013

Whilst archon, in 493/2 B.C., Themistokles began his constructions at Peiraeus, which he got finished in 479/8 (Thuc. I. 93.3). On the latter occasion he persuaded (ἔπεισε) the demos: on the former he evidently acted in virtue of the archon's powers. What powers?The classical archon's functions were mainly two: to conduct certain public festivals, and to see to such lawsuits as pertained to the family. Not unimportant functions, at least not unimportant in the archaic state: when his discretion in his own court was still considerable, the man who could, e.g., dispose of heiresses had much power and enjoyed much confidence. But not by any means enough to account for his known importance.
Part I. Preliminary Report on the Excavations of 1955
Authors: Wace A. J. B. 
Published: October 2013

The British excavations at Mycenae were resumed in 1955 with research grants from the American Philosophical Society and Bollingen Foundation and contributions from the Universities of Cambridge and Oxford, the British Academy, and the Seager Fund of the British School at Athens under whose aegis the excavations were conducted.Work began on August 6th and ceased on September 7th. The next two days were spent in studying and photographing the objects found and in conveying them to the Nauplia Museum. There they were deposited in the room which Dr. Papademetriou has kindly placed at our disposal. We have taken the opportunity of equipping the room with wooden shelving to accommodate the vases and the other objects found and to store the wooden trays containing the boxes with the smaller finds.
Part III. Two Tombs
Authors: Desborough V. R. d'A. 
Published: October 2013

Whereas the 1954 tombs belonged to the House of Shields, of the two uncovered in 1955 one was within the House of Sphinxes and the other lay immediately to the west of it.This burial does not need any lengthy description. It was found at the east end of an otherwise unfruitful trial trench dug immediately to the west of the modern road which runs along the western side of the House of Sphinxes. It consisted of the skeleton (in very poor condition) of a small child, placed on the rock. Two bronze pins lay together over the chest, and a cup was found on the rock beside the body. There was no longer any indication as to how the skeleton and the associated objects were originally protected.
Characterization of Glue Sizing Layers in Portuguese Wood Paintings from the 15th and 16th Centuries by SEM Secondary Electron Images and μ-FTIR
Authors: Antunes Vanessa , J.Oliveira Maria , Vargas Helena , Candeias António , Seruya Ana , Dias Luís , Serrão Vítor , Coroado João 
Published: October 2013

AbstractAccording to treatises on 15th and 16th century paintings, artists dedicated particular attention to the sizing layer—consisting mainly of animal glue applied onto the wood support before further application of the ground layer. The stability of a painting mainly depends on the presence of a very cohesive sizing layer. However, the study of these layers has not received special attention from researchers. In this article we present a methodology for characterization of the sizing layer both chemically, by IR spectroscopy (Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy), and morphologically, by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Secondary electron images obtained by SEM allow precise characterization of such layers. Painting reconstructions were used as references in development of the method to study the sizing layer in real painting samples. Presented herein are examples of this study on 15th and 16th century Portuguese paintings, particularly on the Triptych of S. Simão, from the Aveiro Museum, and S. Pedro, belonging to the Mercy of Tavira.
pVHL acts as a downstream target of E2F1 to suppress E2F1 activity
Authors: Ji Wei , Wang Jing , Zhang Wei , Liu Xing , Ouyang Gang , Xiao Wuhan 
Published: October 2013

The VHL (von Hippel–Lindau) gene is a well-defined tumour suppressor linked to hereditary cancer syndromes. Although it is well documented that pVHL (von Hippel–Lindau protein) mediates HIF (hypoxia-inducible factor)-1/2α degradation under conditions of normoxia, accounting for a major mechanism of pVHL in tumour suppression, it remains elusive whether other HIF-independent functions contribute to the pVHL tumour suppressive function. In the present study, we found that pVHL is a downstream target of E2F1, which harbours an E2F1-binding site in its promoter. Moreover, pVHL binds to E2F1 in vitro and in vivo, resulting in inhibition of E2F1 transcriptional activity. Mechanistic studies showed that pVHL binding enhances E2F1 deacetylation. Further immunoprecipitation assays indicated that the pVHL interaction diminishes P/CAF [p300/CREB (cAMP-response-element-binding protein)-binding protein-associated factor] and p300 association with E2F1, but enhances Sirt1 (sirtuin 1) binding to E2F1. In addition, upon DNA damage, pVHL is induced. Knockdown of pVHL sensitizes cells to DNA-damage-induced apoptosis dependent on E2F1, uncovering a role for pVHL in the response to DNA damage. The findings of the present study reveal a novel function of pVHL and demonstrate a negative-feedback loop between pVHL and E2F1, which may shed new light on the explanation of the role of pVHL in tumour suppression.
Tuning of undoped ZnO thin film via plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition and its application for an inverted polymer solar cell
Authors: Jin Mi-jin , Jo Junhyeon , Neupane Guru P. , Kim Jeongyong , An Ki-Seok , Yoo Jung-Woo 
Published: October 2013

We studied the tuning of structural and optical properties of ZnO thin film and its correlation to the efficiency of inverted solar cell using plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD). The sequential injection of DEZn and O2 plasma was employed for the plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition of ZnO thin film. As the growth temperature of ZnO film was increased from 100 °C to 300 °C, the crystallinity of ZnO film was improved from amorphous to highly ordered (002) direction ploy-crystal due to self crystallization. Increasing oxygen plasma time in PEALD process also introduces growing of hexagonal wurtzite phase of ZnO nanocrystal. Excess of oxygen plasma time induces enhanced deep level emission band (500 ∼ 700 nm) in photoluminescence due to Zn vacancies and other defects. The evolution of structural and optical properties of PEALD ZnO films also involves in change of electrical conductivity by 3 orders of magnitude. The highly tunable PEALD ZnO thin films were employed as the electron conductive layers in inverted polymer solar cells. Our study indicates that both structural and optical properties rather than electrical conductivities of ZnO films play more important role for the effective charge collection in photovoltaic device operation. The ability to tune the materials properties of undoped ZnO films via PEALD should extend their functionality over the wide range of advanced electronic applications.
