The Supplementum epigraphicum graecum, or SEG, is an annual publication that gathers the complete texts of newly discovered Greek inscriptions, along with bibliography on previously known documents. The material is grouped by ancient locale in which the Greek text originated, with a section for unknown. Each entry contains a date, description, annotated bibliographic citation, find spot, and the text (in the Greek original). Each volume contains several indexes: names of men and women; kings, dynasties, and their families; Roman emperors and their families; geographical name; religious terms; military terms (divided into two sections, Greek and Roman); important Greek words; and selected topics. A concordance concludes the volumes. This is an essential reference for those libraries supporting scholarship in ancient Greek literature, philosophy, politics, society, and archaeology. Brill has reprinted this volume in a lucid facsimile of the original, with no additional material. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
