| Popis | This paper focuses on the specifics of the Latin epigraphical sources from the Ancient roman province of Numidia (found on the territory of modern day Algeria) from the corpus ILAlg 2. The analysis of such sources concerns searching for any lingustical, syntactical, technical errors and deviations from classical Latin and collecting of these data in the Computerized Historical Linguistic Database of the Latin Inscriptions of the Imperial Age, which runs as the project of the Research Institute for Linguistics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Latin Department of the Eötvös Loránd University, Budapest. This case study presents one particular inscription (ILAlg 2, 7569) from 2nd century AD, found in Roman town of Suburburum in Roman African province of Numidia. This inscription is interesting for many reasons: 1) It is written by local priest of Saturn, enumerating various types of sacrifices offered to various Roman and provincial gods (this is very rare). 2) It contains very interesting and quite rare words used by Romans for certain types of sacrifices and sacrificial animals (like berbex for castrated young male sheep). 3) It contains 17 relevant phenomena of interest (some nice examples of syncope like ovicla for ovicula – little sheep; frequent occurences of missing final -m in accusative of substantives etc.). |
