About the Project

This sub-project of the open-access Royal Inscriptions of Babylonia online (RIBo) Project [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/ribo/] is intended to present up-to-date editions of the officially commissioned texts of the Seleucid era (305-64 BC). At present, "Babylon 10" contains only a single inscription of Antiochus I Soter from Borsippa. The lemmatized transliteration and searchable English translation of the "Antiochus [Borsippa] Cylinder" has been kindly contributed by Kathryn Stevens [https://www.dur.ac.uk/directory/profile/?id=12975]. The edition included here is a marginally modified version of Stevens' edition on Eleanor Robson's Seleucid Building Inscriptions [http://oracc.museum.upenn.edu/cams/selbi/corpus].
