The Phoenician and Punic formula that associates the listening of the god and the blessing of the worshipper is very frequent in dedications, with a remarkable spatio-temporal diffusion. This formula is studied here from three points of view: firstly, the variety of its attestations, its semantic scope and the possible links with personal onomastics ; secondly, the way in which it is negotiated in bi- and trilingual inscriptions (with Greek and Latin texts) ; thirdly, the articulation between texts and images on the votive steles of the tophet. This joint study allows highlighting the elements depending on the epigraphic habitus and those attesting the influence of contextual usages.

Abstract

The Phoenician and Punic formula that associates the listening of the god and the blessing of the worshipper is very frequent in dedications, with a remarkable spatio-temporal diffusion. This formula is studied here from three points of view: firstly, the variety of its attestations, its semantic scope and the possible links with personal onomastics ; secondly, the way in which it is negotiated in bi- and trilingual inscriptions (with Greek and Latin texts) ; thirdly, the articulation between texts and images on the votive steles of the tophet. This joint study allows highlighting the elements depending on the epigraphic habitus and those attesting the influence of contextual usages.
