Textbook of Aramaic Ostraca from Idumea, volume 1
Some 340 Aramaic ostraca of the Persian and Hellenistic periods
have been excavated at 32 sites in Israel, from Yokneam in the
north to Eilat in the south, with Arad and Beersheba being the main
contributory sites. By far, however, the largest cache of texts is
what has come to be known as \"the Idumean ostraca\". These did not
come from formal excavations but began to appear on the antiquities
market in 1991. Since then, some 2,000 ostraca have reached 9
museums and libraries and 21 private collections. Of these, the
majority are still not formally published, and in this volume (and
those to follow), Bezalel Porten undertakes to provide a
comprehensive edition of all these texts, in many cases as an
editio princeps . Porten, with the expert epigraphic
assistance of Ada Yardeni and hand-copies by her as well, here
provides the first volume of texts, organized by \"dossier\" based on
the primary personage cited in the text. Color photographs (where
available), ceramic descriptions, hand-copies, transcription,
translation, and commentary are provided for each text, along with
figures and tables, and introductions and summaries of each
dossier. An included CD contains a catalogue of all the texts and
three color key-word-in-context concordances, for words, personal
names, and months for the entire corpus. This publication will
become the primary resource for information on these texts.

Since 1991, some 2,000 Aramaic ostraca deriving from the south of Israel have appeared on the antiquities market and are now scattered in 9 museums and libraries and 21 private collections. Of these, the majority are still not formally published, and in this second volume in the series, Bezalel Porten continues the publication of this important corpus of 4th century B.C.E. economic texts. With the expert epigraphic assistance of Ada Yardeni and hand-copies by her as well, Porten here provides the second volume of texts, organized by “dossier” based on the primary personage cited in the text. Color photographs (where available), ceramic descriptions, hand-copies, transcription, translation, and commentary are provided for each text, along with tables of seven grain dossiers. This publication will become the primary resource for information on these texts, which provide insight into the economic, social, and religious lives of Idumeans in the late Persian and early Hellenistic periods.

D1.1–9.7 Workers Texts Dossier (74 Texts, Tables D1–5)
For whom or for what were these workers meant? For the workers from the clans, we note that Kislev is the month of December, and we may cite the standard study of Lucian Turkowski, “Peasant Agriculture in the Judean Hills,” where he says, “The first plowing [the shallow ploughing] takes place in the mountainous country in December. . . . The farmers know how to take advantage of the short breaks between the rains for the completion of the first and second plowing. The interval between these two lasts from three to four weeks” (Turkowski 1969: 27–28). In the
