Pt. 1: "The text of all 331 Greek inscriptions found during the course of excavations at Corinth from 1896 to 1927 is presented in this volume, including some pieces found in fields around the city. The book is divided into sections of Laws and Decrees, Catalogues and Boundary Stones, Public Monuments and Dedications, Sepulchral Monuments (Greek, Roman, and Byzantine), and Byzantine Monuments other than Sepulchral Monuments." Pt. 2: "This presentation of 226 Latin inscriptions found during the early years of excavation at Corinth is divided into two main sections: Inscriptions of the Republican period and Inscriptions of the Imperial Period. Each inscribed piece of stone is described in detail and any readable texts are transcribed and commented on." Pt. 3: "The inscriptions found in the excavations at Corinth between 1926 and 1950 are published here which, although fragmentary, provide significant new evidence for the history of Greece in the Roman period. Here the Greek texts before 44 B.C. number only 49; the bulk of the volume deals with 451 texts, both Greek and Latin, of the Roman Imperial period, 220 Greek texts of the Late Roman and Early Byzantine period and 17 after A.D. 800. Text, translation, and commentary are offered for each inscription and a general introduction to each period summarizes the historical information yielded by the texts and includes lists of the names of those who held various Roman offices."--Publisher's website.
