<P>Dear Listmembers,</P>
<P>Would anyone happen to know of any publications which treat the existence</P>
<P>(or the lack thereof) of ERANOI and THIASOI in Palestine and the
Ptolemaic</P>
<P>kingdom? As far as I know, they do not come up in the Canonical or</P>
<P>Deuterocanonical literature, but I am interested in comparing their
cultural</P>
<P>force in Palestine with that in areas closer to the imperial capital
(e.g.,</P>
<P>Rhodes) and areas in the eastern Seleucid empire (like Ai Khanoum). Of</P>
<P>particular interest to me is how instrumental they were in the
dissemination</P>
<P>of Greek culture among the Jews -- either in or out of Palestine proper.</P>
<P>Thanks for any and all help.</P>
<P>Cheers,</P>
<P>Al Lukaszewski</P>
<P>University of St. Andrews</P></FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
