Oinoe, Ikaria island: proverbial phrase discriminating against the Jews, late 5th/6th century
View through Europeana Collections
Proverbial phrase discriminating against the Jews: Text: "There is no way that you can ever hear (an) [[Ikarian]] Jew(s) telling the truth". According to the IG (XII.6.2.1263), the stone originally read Ikarion, but this was erased, and Ioudeon was added in larger letters. If the editors are right, the Christian Ikarians were evidently retaliating for an insult received from Jews. Yet D. Feissel argued that the word Ioudeon was not added after the erasure, but, according to him, the erasure was intended to give a more general meaning to the anti-Jewish maxim.
