The paper focuses on Greek epitaphs set up for dogs and attempts to demonstrate the kind of data that can be extracted from such texts. It analyses the texts of canine epitaphs and compares them not only to similar Latin inscriptions and literary evidence, but also to Greek funerary inscriptions set up for humans, as the structure of the canine epitaphs is often similar to the structure of human ones. Topics such as dog names and 'professions' are also touched upon in the paper, and it is concluded that dog owners seem to have named their dogs in a similar manner to how they have named their slaves and have adopted a pattern of expressing their grief over the loss of a pet from the epitaphs commemorating the deaths of dependent members of their households.

«ЗДЕСЬ ТЕПЕРЬ Я ОТДЫХАЮ ПОД ЗЕМЛЕЙ, О ХОЗЯИН, МНОГО ПОТРУДИВШИСЬ»: МЕСТО СОБАКИ В ЖИЗНИ ДРЕВНЕГРЕЧЕСКОГО ОЙКОСА НА МАТЕРИАЛЕ НАДГРОБНЫХ НАДПИСЕЙ
В статье рассматриваются древнегреческие эпитафии собак и предпри- нимается попытка продемонстрировать, какого рода информацию можно извлечь из по- добных текстов. Анализируя тексты эпитафий, авторы сравнивают их не только с ана- логичными латинскими текстами, но и с древнегреческими надгробными надписями, посвященными людям. В работе затрагиваются такие темы, как клички собак и их «про- фессии». Авторы приходят к выводу, что формулы, используемые в собачьих эпитафиях, а также их клички ближе всего к именам и формулам из эпитафий рабов и/или других зависимых членов домохозяйства.
