Two Palmyrene inscriptions in Russian museums
Kleine Untersuchungen zur Sprache des Alten Testaments und seiner Umwelt. 2018. Vol. 23. P. 105–122.
Among the holdings of the museums in Russia are two funerary reliefs with portraits and inscriptions in Palmyrene Aramaic, which had not been fully treated in scholarly literature. The purpose of this article is to publish the inscriptions on these reliefs. The inscription on the relief from the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow (Inv. II 1а 647) now reads “ʔAmta, daughter of ʕAtu. Alas! (ʔmtʔ brt ʕtw ḥbl)”. The inscriptions on the relief from the State Hermitage Museum (Inv. 4176) includes two quite common Palmyrene personal names, Belta and Zabdibel. The reading of the text as a whole is still uncertain, three alternative hypotheses are proposed: (1) “Belta, daughter of Aḥ, (son of) Zabdibel. Alas!” (2) “Belta, niece of Zabdibel. Alas!” (3) “Belta, daughter of Aḥ. Zabdibel (her son). Alas!”

Although epistemic stance in academic discourse has been extensively researched
in linguistics, relatively little is known about diachronic change and variation in its expression
across disciplines, and still less about the grant proposal abstract, a genre produced under strong
promotional pressure. The present paper addresses this gap by testing whether the widely reported trend towards research “hype” is ...

AI literally comes to us from the future, not because it exists in some distant temporal reality, but because we, by attempting to construct an expected future through the experiences and affections evoked in us by the idea of AI, are unwittingly creating the conditions for the future's sudden arrival.

The digital today constitutes an environment of affects: it touches, enchants, captivates, incites, and frightens. What it does not do, however, is provide knowledge; rather, it takes knowledge away. Previously, the subject of cognition was the human being, though cognition itself was largely grounded in institutions, social contacts, performative rituals, and the activity of human-scale ...
