A significant contribution to the study of the Greek vocabulary used to describe local origins of individuals. Shedding new light on ancient grammarians and writers (many of whom survive only in quotations in later sources), it also studies the sources for an important surviving annotated list of place names, Stephanus of Byzantium's Ethnika. [Fraser's] posthumous book on Greek ethnic terminology is the fruit of many years of dedicated research on an exceptionally significant topic. As a mine of information and reflections made by a most erudite Greek scholar, an outstanding guide through the labyrinth of Greek ethnic terminology, it will be indispensable for all classicists, archaeologists, epigraphers, numismatists and ancient historians in general.
