Abstract

The excavations at Sidi Khrebish, Benghazi, within the Hellenistic and Roman city of Berenice, yielded a considerable variety of inscriptions on portable objects in addition to monumental epigraphy. An account of the latter was published in the first volume of the final reports in 1977, together with a very short and preliminary list of the former. Following the detailed studies of various classes of material, it seemed opportune to bring together an updated account of the inscriptions on ‘minor objects’, which range from missiles to transport amphorae, table wares, kitchen wares, and lamps.

كشفت الحفريات في سيدي خريبيش، بنغازي، التابعة لاثار مدينة برنيس الهلنستية والرومانية، تشكيلة كبيرة من النقوش وجدت على أجسام محمولة. كما كشفت عن دراسة للنقوش على الانصبة التذكارية تم نشرها في المجلد الأول من التقارير النهائية في 1977 ، مع قائمة قصيرة جداً وتمهيدية عن الحفريات السابق ذكرها. هذا وعقب الدراسات المفصّلة لفئات المواد المختلفة، بدى مناسباً جمع بيان محدث عن النقوش التي وجدت على "الاجسام الأقل أهمية"، مثل القذائف الصاروخية والقوارير وأدوات المائدة والمطبخ والمصابيح .
