Im Zentrum der Arbeit steht die für die Stoa grundlegende Oikeiosis-Lehre. Eine der wichtigsten Quellen für diese Theorie ist das dritte Buch von Ciceros Dialog de finibus, das bisher als zuverlässige Darstellung der stoischen Ethik galt. Demgegenüber zeigt der Autor, dass an zentralen Stellen, nämlich bei der Darstellung der Oikeiosis, nicht stoisches, sondern peripatetisches Material verarbeitet wurde. Diese nicht-stoischen Elemente werden dann mit einer sehr ähnlichen Darstellung der Oikeiosis-Lehre von sicher peripatetischer Provenienz verglichen, die sich bei Johannes Stobaios erhalten hat: Für sie und den bei Stobaios tradierten Text kann eine gemeinsame Vorlage erschlossen werden. Als möglicher Urheber dieser Lehre kann durch die Interpretation weiterer Quellen ein Zeitgenosse Ciceros, der Peripatetiker Xenarchos von Seleukeia, ausgemacht werden, dessen Ethik hier zum ersten Mal ausführlich rekonstruiert wird. Die Ergebnisse haben Auswirkungen auf das Verständnis von Stoa und Peripatos, besonders auf die Interpretation der Oikeiosis-Lehre, und geben neue Einblicke in Ciceros Arbeitsweise und die philosophischen Diskussionen des 1. Jh. v. Chr.

In this approachable and articulate study, Philip C. Schmitz offers close interpretations of six ancient texts, four previously published Phoenician and Punic inscriptions and two Phoenician inscriptions published for the first time. The author selected the previously known texts because readings of their letters and interpretation of their grammar and syntax are not yet well established. Each of the selected texts stands as an original source concerning Phoenician settlement in the western Mediterranean, Phoenician activity in Egypt, or the economic life and religious beliefs and practices of ancient Carthage.Chapter 1 rapidly surveys the history of Phoenician-Punic epigraphy and offers a limited inventory of recent publications of epigraphic texts. Chapter 2 undertakes a new reading and translation of the Phoenician stele from Nora, Sardinia (CIS I 144). Chapter 3 edits and translates the larger Phoenician inscriptions from Abu Simbel, in Egypt (CIS I 112). Chapter 4 concerns the paleographic analysis of selected Phoenician graffiti from Tell el-Maskhuta. Chapter 5 publishes an overlooked dipinto inscription on an amphora excavated at Carthage. (An appendix by Joann Freed contextualizes the amphora.) Chapter 6 takes a text-critical look at CIS I 6068, an enigmatic Punic inscription on lead, thought since its discovery to be a curse text. Schmitz argues that it is not a curse but a quittance for debt. Chapter 7 is a new reading and translation of CIS I 6000bis, a Punic epitaph from the Hellenistic period of Carthage.Among the features of this book that may interest students and scholars are: new translations and interpretations of important inscriptions the translation and interpretation of which have been disputed; previously unpublished photographs of inscriptions, illustrating difficult readings; author's hand drawings of difficult readings; and grammatical analysis with reference to other known texts and standard reference works.
