The excavations at the sanctuary of Zeus at Dodona have unearthed a unique corpus of lead plates containing oracular lamellae from the mid-6th to the 2nd c. BCE. Some 4,500 of these have been published thus far. The inquiries, which are not always easy to read, interpret or date, are important for Greek linguistics in two main regards: first, they exhibit a wide array of alphabets and dialects that provide valuable data for the study of Ancient Greek; second, they are extempore texts written in an informal register that is rarely documented.
