The Greek term Hellenismos is recognized to have covered a wider range of linguistic varieties than encompassed under modern standard languages, and I argue that in the late Republic and the first century of the Roman Empire Latinitas was a similarly elastic concept. Through the example of variant orthographic practices in epigraphically attested legal texts, I show that there was considerable variation in written Latin texts throughout this period. Latin was not yet fully standardized (in the modern sense of the term) in the year 100 AD.

The papers, covering all areas of Indo-European, make substantial contributions to the current intensive research on word formation, and many of them break new ground or shed new light on old problems. While some contributions are particularly concerned with the construction of theoretical models of Indo-European, others continue the traditional philological research into corpus languages. Finally, such issues as the borderland between morphology and syntax and the potential connection between Indo-European and other language families are brought up for discussion.

Les differentes formes apparentees connues aujourd'hui proviennent du hittite, du grec, du tokharien, du vedique, du latin et du lette. Les voyelles initiales de ces mots sont de deux types : 1. *e- (pour le grec, le hittite, ...) et 2. *a- (pour le latin, le lette...).

The present article offers: (1) a new edition of the text from autopsy and two photographs, along with (2) an English translation. Since the inscription contains many unusual linguistic and ritual details, an extensive line-by-line commentary on the text (3), as well as a study of the script and dialect (4), are also proposed. Developing this commentary, a further section (5) offers an analysis of the typology of the text, identifying it as a calendar for a threeday (τριανβρ ς) festival, which recurred in different cycles (annual, biennial/trieteric, and enneateric). This festival was concerned with multiple communities, sanctuaries, and deities, perhaps especially with Zeus. By way of conclusion (Envoi), an attempt at a general appraisal of the tablet is presented: issuing perhaps from the sanctuary of Mount Lykaion or from Methydrion, the regulation was closely linked to the Arkadian myths of the birth of Zeus. Every eight years in particular, the armed defense of his mother Rhea was celebrated (the Hoplodmia), announcing the rise of the new king of the gods.
