Abstract

Abstract This article aims to explore the origins of the inclusion of the diamerismos—the division of the earth between Noah’s sons—as epoche in Greek historical periodization. It is based on the assumption that supputationes are a basic element of Greek chronological literature, although neglected by recent research, and can be very useful as identifiers of chronological sources and traditions. Several Greek supputationes from the 3d to the 10th century will be addressed as evidence. There was no agreement on the inclusion of this epoche between Greek historians and chronologers, so the analysis is restricted to examples which include it. The origin of this situation can be traced to the conflation of Africanus and Eusebius in a chronicle work from Creation, with addition of other elements and possible updatings. The contribution of Africanus to this chronological scheme can be seen as a most essential element.
希腊历史分期中的Diamerismos传统
摘要:本文旨在探讨希腊历史分期中将诺亚之子划分地球作为时代的起源。它是基于假设,假设是希腊年代文学的一个基本元素,虽然被最近的研究忽视,但可以作为年代来源和传统的标识符非常有用。从3世纪到10世纪的几个希腊假设将被作为证据。希腊历史学家和年代学家对这一时期的存在没有达成一致,因此分析仅限于包含这一时期的例子。这种情况的起源可以追溯到《创世记》编年史作品中非洲人和优西比乌斯的合并,并添加了其他元素和可能的更新。非洲对这一时间表的贡献可以看作是一个最基本的因素。
