This article looks at the “function of the procurator” in relation to a recently published latin inscription from Bedjene (Algeria) which mentions the freedman of the Severian period, Nicocles, procurator regionis. The analysis relating to this freedman is extended to the administrative structures and their developments in the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD.

Royal writs of William the Conqueror were produced by a multilingual community of clerks whose bureaucratic routines commonly included translation between Latin and the two vernaculars (French and English). These practices encouraged the scribes to generate a professional vocabulary that was essentially identical in all three languages. One part of it consisted of traditional Anglo-Saxon legal lexis, including terminology for right and privileges, land administration, and titles. Twenty-four such terms, extracted from the edition of William’s acta by David Bates, are analysed in this study, and their borrowing and currency reconstructed against the background of a wider corpus of Anglo-Latin and Old English texts and a wider sociolinguistic context of professional post-Conquest trilingualism.

Ein neues Textstück aus den "Scythica Vindobonensia" zu den Ereignissen nach der Eroberung von Philippopolis (Taf. 12-15

The outlines of the changes of the term archiatros and his Latin equivalent archiater are clear: initially the word denoted a court physician but in the 2nd Century CE, a new meaning appeared, that of a public physician. Only in late antiquity can one identify archiatros as an honorary title, one denoting a famous, skilled doctor. The inscription of C. Proculeius Themison from Alexandria (7 CE) does not fit into this scheme. In this paper, I argue that the title of Themison should be viewed as an honorary one, indicating that the honorary usage of archiatros began sooner, as previously thought. The inscription from Themison also affords an opportunity to re-examine the term archiatros, and to investigate, whether the use of the term in a flattering manner can be traced in Greek and Latin inscriptions.
