[30a] This statement does not apply to Asia Minor where we do know
of industrial strikes in Roman times at Ephesus, Pergamum, Miletus,
and Sardis. That of the bakers at Ephesus (Kern, _Die Inschriften von
Magnesia_, no. 114, an inscription which we now know is from Ephesus)
took place in the second century A.D. The other strikes are those
of builders, one in the second century A.D. at Miletus on the Roman
theatre (_Sitz. Berl. Ak._ 1904, p. 83); for Pergamum, cf. _Athen.
Mitt._ XXIV, 1899, p. 199 (also second cent.); for Sardis _C.I.G._
3647. An article by W. H. Buckler on _Labor Disputes in the Province of
Asia_ which will soon appear in _Anatolian Studies in Honor of Sir W.
M. Ramsay_, Manchester, 1923, discusses this question. [D. M. R.]
