Abstract

The Roman-era city-state of Palmyra provides ample opportunity for the investigation of Aramaic onomastics and the reconstruction of elite lineages at the site. In this article, we trace the recently reconstructed family genealogy of a certain Barʿā (son of) Zabdʿatē. We demonstrate that the organization suggested by Fred Albertson is more likely than the reconstruction proposed by Palmira Piersimoni and yet remains chronologically viable. Further, we provide philological justification for Albertson’s deduction that tšbb, which has previously been understood as a personal name, is in fact an epithet meaning “the Younger, the Lesser.”
