Graeco-Aramaica: A Look at Greek Words in Christian Palestinian Aramaic

The contacts between Greek and Late Aramaic varieties have been the topic of lively academic discussions, which resulted in important studies on Greek loanwords in Syriac, Samaritan Aramaic, and Jewish Palestinian Aramaic. The first study on Greek loanwords in Christian Palestinian Aramaic (CPA) appeared at the end of the nineteenth century, but our knowledge of the language and its texts has considerably expanded since then. The present paper investigates Greek loanwords in CPA and offers a small sample of meaningful borrowed words.
