Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
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.
MoreLong description:
This volume is a significant contribution to the study of the ancient Greek vocabulary used to describe the local origins of individuals. It sheds much new light on ancient grammarians, and other ancient writers (many of them 'lost' in the sense that they survive only in quotations in later sources). At the heart of the volume is a study of the sources which lie behind an enigmatic but important treatise, which survives only in epitome: the Ethnika of the grammarian Stephanus of Byzantium. This suppliment to the Lexicon of Greek Personal Names is the final work of its founding editor (d. 2007).
An excellent example of the kind of analysis that is made possible by the work of the LGPN... The courageous reader will find a series of interesting discussions ranging from the grammatical to the political. More
