In addition to my work for LGPN on Greek and Semitic onomastics, I am in the process of revising for publication my PhD dissertation on Greek incantations and their tradition in classical and late antiquity, Byzantium, and beyond, and am preparing editions of some substantial unpublished ritual texts in Greek, Coptic, and Aramaic. My other research examines oral literature associated with incubation shrines in antiquity and Byzantium. Beginning in 2017 I will serve as co-editor of the Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum for Egypt and the Near, Middle, and Far East.
