Summary:The petition from Argos discussed in the previous essay is a ‘new’ document for New Testament scholars which throws light on first-century issues in Roman Corinth.

In particular it will explore the problem of the imperial cult and 1 Corinthians 8 and comment briefly on Roman Corinth’s cultural and legal mores.
