"… the Turks, public servants or soldiers, remained in sum what they’ve always been, Barbarians making a life out of plunder and robbery..." The above statement reveals how one of the finest institutions of Ottoman Greek letters and sciences, the Hellenic Literary Society at Constantinople, described the Turks in a petition to its honorary members, academics, university professors, and learned societies in the Allied countries and in those that had remained neutral during the Great War, just a month into the deliberations of the Paris Peace Conference in 1919. The picture of the Turk as a barbarian permeates the petition and juxtaposes that of the Greek as the bearer of civilization. In this way, the society attempted to elicit the support of Western intellectuals in favor of Greek irredentism. Such an approach was not unique to the Ottoman Greeks, as Armenians also employed a similar distinction between the Turks and themselves to enhance their national aspirations.2 Yet, such a snapshot of the society in the post-Armistice period can be misleading as to its sixty-odd year-long lifetime. The society had remained, for the most part, in favor of Ottomanism, and its endorsement of Greek irredentism tells us more about how and why multi-ethnic and multi-cultural empires can fail rather than providing an accurate depiction of the society throughout its existence.

Drawing inspiration from discussions on the relationship between archaeology and video games (“archaeogaming”), this article argues that contemporary games address three central concepts of archaeological theory: the uncertain materiality of archaeological finds, the way in which caring for artifacts complicates a linear or chronological understanding of history, and the open-ended quality of archaeological interpretation. The “archaeogames” I examine—which include Heaven’s Vault (Inkle, 2019), Outer Wilds (Mobius Digital, 2019), The Forgotten City (Modern Storyteller, 2021), and Elden Ring (FromSoftware, 2022)—capture these concepts by implementing a variety of gameplay and narrative mechanics. In addition to embedding archaeological objects at the level of representation, these games turn archaeological theory into a gameplay practice—a process potentially leading to the emergence of collaborative and creative storytelling within what I call archaeological fandom.

Abstract – The discovery of new fragments of the Mari god-list in 1998-2000 as well as new readings proposed by different scholars since its publication lead to a better understanding of the list. For example, it is argued that the section of the Nin-deities is organized according to the principle of a life cycle. This article also highlights the affiliation of Mari god-list with other Old Babylonian god-lists, which form a group whose organization dates back to the 3rd millennium: god-lists from Isin, Mari, and Uruk as well as others of unknown provenance are interconnected through their main organization as well as through thematic groups of deities based on, among others, the motif of weeping mothers or the seven children of Enmešara. Finally, this article proposes several new readings in these lists and also aims to clarify the function of some minor deities during the Old Babylonian period, such as NINniĝar, Ninsig, Ninpiriĝ or Ninkur(a), through the analysis of their place in the different lists. Rétrospective sur les listes divines de l’époque paléo-babylonienne. Une nouvelle édition de TH 80.112Résumé – La découverte de nouveaux fragments de la Liste divine de Mari en 1998-2000 et les nouvelles lectures proposées par les chercheurs depuis sa publication initiale permettent une meilleure compréhension de ce texte. Il est par exemple démontré que la section sur les divinités en Nin- est organisée selon le principe du cycle de la vie. L’article met également en évidence les liens entre le texte de Mari et d’autres listes divines paléo-babyloniennes qui forment un groupe dont la structure remonte au IIIe millénaire : les listes d’Isin, de Mari et d’Uruk, ainsi que d’autres dont la provenance est inconnue, sont reliées par leur organisation principale et par des groupes thématiques de divinités basés, entre autres, sur le motif des mères éplorées ou des sept enfants d’Enmešara. Enfin, cet article propose plusieurs nouvelles lectures dans ces listes et vise aussi à clarifier la fonction de certaines divinités mineures durant cette période, telles que NINniĝar, Ninsig, Ninpiriĝ ou Ninkur(a), à travers l'analyse de leur place dans les différentes listes. مبنى التجمع للكنيسة المسماة "بروكوبيوس" في جراساإن حفريات الإنقاذ المجراة في عام ١٩٩٤ في موقع جنوب الكنيسة ما قبل البيزنطية والمعروفة باسم "بروكوبيوس" أو "بروكوب" في جرش (الأردن)، أي سابقًا جراسا ديكابول، قد أظهرت وجود قاعات مرصوفة بالفسيفساء تحتوي على مدونتين يونانيتين موضوعتين ضمن رصائع. إن هذه الآثار وهذه النصوص تسمح بالتعرف على مبنى تجمع حضري من نوع خاص: الأخوة الدينية. من الملاحظ وجود تشابه مع المباني والمدونات المكتشفة مؤخرًا في جزء آخر من المدينة بالقرب مما يسمى "كنيسة الكنيس".

This paper discusses the early modern houses on Phanar’s extramural waterfront, one of Ottoman Istanbul’s main Greek Orthodox neighborhoods, located on the northwest of the walled city on the Golden Horn. Focusing on their emergence and transformation within their own context, this study aims to achieve an in-depth reading of these residences. The transformation of the waterfront settlement around Phanar, from fisher houses in the sixteenth century to the mansions of the rising mercantile elite of the Orthodox Christian community and then of boyars and hospodars of Wallachia and Moldavia (referred to as Phanariots after the neighborhood) in the “long” eighteenth century, constitutes the backbone of the study. The centripetal role of the relocation of the Greek Orthodox patriarchate to Phanar in the seventeenth century in the larger story of the emergence and transformation of the neighborhood in general and of the waterfront in particular is key. Special emphasis is given to the formal aspects of the Phanariot houses, which have been reconstructed through a close analysis of sources. It is argued that, while the seventeenth- and eighteenth-century houses in Phanar displayed a unique bipartite construction which combined masonry and timber, when the houses were later “canonized” in the early twentieth century, they had an incomplete presentation, distinguishing the masonry parts and dismissing the timber half. This bipartite scheme in the early modern period suggests connections to not only their materiality but also their functionality, plot pattern, and relation to the immediate urban context including the Golden Horn.In addition to their formal and urban aspects, these houses were peculiar in that they were frequently conceptualized as the inconspicuous, even “invisible,” houses of the Phanariots, a phenomenon which can be traced in the eyewitness accounts. Thus, we attempt to reconstruct the material form of the houses of Phanar as a way to understand the social and political form that they forged for themselves in the Ottoman Empire. The “demise” of Phanar and its transformation into a nostalgic neighborhood of a distant Greek past, both in Istanbul and in Greece, also constitutes a significant endnote. Bu makale Osmanlı İstanbulu’nun önemli Rum mahallelerinden Fener’in sur dışı Haliç sahilinde yer alan erken modern yalı evlerini konu alır. Evleri kendi bağlamları içinde, ortaya çıkışları ve dönüşümlerine odaklanarak, derinlemesine okumayı hedefler. Çalışmanın bel kemiğini Haliç’in Fener kıyılarındaki sahil yerleşiminin, on altıncı yüzyılda balıkçı evlerinden, “uzun” on sekizinci yüzyılda Ortodoks-Hıristiyan cemaatinin önce ticaret eliti, ardından Eflak ve Boğdan’ın boyar ve hospodarları olarak yükselen ve mahalleye referansla Fenerliler olarak adlandırılan seçkinlerinin konaklarına dönüşmesi oluşturur. Rum-Ortodoks Patrikhanesi’nin Fener’e taşınmasının, mahallenin ve özellikle su kıyısının ortaya çıkması ve dönüşmesindeki merkezi rolü de vurgulanmaktadır.Fenerli Beylerin evlerinin mevcut ve gelişmekte olan ikincil literatürün yanı sıra döneme ait görgü tanıklıkları ve kaynakların yakından incelenmesiyle ortaya çıkarılan biçimsel yönlerine özel bir vurgu yapılır. Yazının temel savı on dokuzuncu yüzyılda Fener evleri mimarlık tarihi kanonuna alınırken, bunun kârgir kısımları üzerinden natamam bir temsil olduğu ve ahşap yarısını dışarıda bıraktığıdır. Yığma taş ve ahşap bölümlere sahip evlerin iki parçalı şeması, malzemeleri, işlevleri, parsel düzeni ve Haliç de dâhil olmak üzere yakın kentsel bağlamla ilişkileri değerlendirilir. Bu evler, biçimsel ve kentsel yönlerinin yanı sıra, görgü tanıklıklarından izlenebilecek bir olgu olarak, Fenerlilerin görünmeyen evleri olarak kavramsallaştırılmıştır. Fener’in söylenegelen “gözden düşüşü” ve hem İstanbul’da hem de Yunanistan’da, Fener’in uzak Rum geçmişinin nostaljik nesnesine dönüşmesi de bu makalenin araştırma odağının önemli bir bölümünü oluşturur.

A 65-year-old Japanese woman underwent umbilical cord blood transplantation for acute myeloid leukemia. Zinc acetate dihydrate tablets were administered for hypozincemia after transplantation, and vomiting and appetite loss occurred soon thereafter. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy revealed mucosal redness, erosion, white coat adhesion, and ulcers. Although graft-versus-host disease, intestinal transplant-associated microangiopathy, and cytomegalovirus infection were considered as possible causes, we diagnosed the patient with zinc acetate dihydrate tablet-associated gastric mucosal alterations based on the endoscopic features. This case reinforces the notion that medication-associated gastric lesions should be suspected in patients taking zinc acetate dihydrate tablets.

In order to encompass general financial frictions, we generalize the fundamental theorem of asset pricing to convex price functionals. We identify a new arbitrage condition, called robust no-arbitrage, that characterizes viability and generalizes the well-known no-arbitrage condition used in models with a linear pricing.
