Abstract

Abstract:Lucian's Fatherland Encomium is thought to have been delivered at Samosata, Lucian's hometown. Although he never mentions "Samosata" in this speech, he repeatedly toys with the "name of the fatherland" as the speech's theme. But what is the name of his native city? The Greeks called it "Samosata" but this is clearly a transliteration. I consider the Aramaic, Persian, and Armenian versions of the name, and notice that the Aramaic "Shemshat" has a number of resonances in Lucian's speech, not least the set theme of the speech itself "the name of (shem) the fatherland."

摘要：卢锡安的祖国安可姆被认为是在卢锡安的家乡萨莫萨塔交付的。尽管他在这次演讲中从未提及“萨摩萨塔”，但他一再以“祖国的名字”作为演讲的主题。但是他的家乡叫什么名字？希腊人称之为“Samosata”，但这显然是音译。我考虑了这个名字的阿拉姆语、波斯语和亚美尼亚语版本，并注意到阿拉姆语“Shemshat”在卢锡安的演讲中有很多共鸣，尤其是演讲本身的主题“祖国的名字”
