AbstractThis paper examines some notable words of both Latin and Greek origin in a second-century Latin account from Tebtynis (ChLAV 304). In light of new data, it aims to clarify the linguistic status of these words (especially those of Greek origin) and their meaning, updating and extending Adams’ (2003, 445, 519, 628) analysis, and to offer a more detailed view of the use of Latin and its contacts with Greek in second-century Tebtynis.
