Abstract

On 16 June 1936 the young American epigraphist Charles Edson signed an agreement with the Berlin Academy of Sciences for the publication of all Greek inscriptions from Macedonia (Fig. 146) in the prestigious Inscriptiones Graecae series (see the text in Nigdelis 2015b: 10–12), estimating that the whole project could be completed within four years. His estimate proved, as so often in epigraphy, too optimistic. By 2016, only two volumes of inscriptions from ancient Macedonia had appeared in IG: the one Edson managed to complete in 1972 containing the inscriptions of Thessalonike (IG X 2.1) and the 1999 volume covering most of the northwestern border areas prepared by Fanoula Papazoglou and her collaborators (IG X 2.2.1). A further volume, of new material published after or not included in Edson's corpus, has just been published (IG X 2.1, Suppl. 1; most inscriptions have already been published and commented upon in Nigdelis 2006a and 2015a) and another is planned: a supplement to Edson's volume and full photographic documentation (due for publication in 2018).
