On behalf of the DGE team:


The editors of the Diccionario Griego-Español (DGE) are pleased to
announce the new release of CLAROS, the online concordance of Greek
inscriptions that can be accessed at
<http://www.dge.filol.csic.es/claros/cnc/cnc.htm>.

CLAROS is a part of the DGE project. It is an electronic database
containing the successive publications of epigraphical Greek texts
re-edited during the last 125 years (and before). Users of CLAROS can
consult the data relative to the edition of Greek inscriptions (name and
date of publication, and the editor's name; but not the epigraphic text
itself). More interestingly, users can retrieve the concordance among
inscriptions, that is, the different editions of the same inscription.
In addition to the bibliographical reference to the main editions of an
epigraphical text, CLAROS contains the reference to numerous corpora of
translations of the same Greek texts.

The third release of CLAROS (May 2004) contains more than 384,000
concordances among inscriptions published (in text or translation) in
about 3,400 publications. This data was collected through the inspection
of about 600 epigraphical collections (including SEG and the Bull.Ep.).

Compared with the previous version (September, 2002), this new edition
of CLAROS adds 80,000 new concordances, 300 new bibliographical
references and 180 collections of texts, out of which we can outline
IRhamn., CID 4 or RECAM 4 among the newer, and among the older ones some
classical collections like IGR, Guarducci EG, Ramsay CB and Schwyzer
Exempla epigraphica.

The database can be consulted in Spanish, French and English at
<http://www.dge.filol.csic.es/claros/cnc/cnc.htm> In this page you can
learn more about the editions used, the criteria for the inclusion in
the data base, and a full list of the bibliographical abbreviations. The
editors of CLAROS would appreciate any suggestion for the improvement
and enlargement of the data base. Please, send your letters to
somolinos at filol.csic.es
