The article regards the dynastic succession of kings of Argos. Special attention is given to the ancient authors mentioning the kings.

Key words: Argos, Temenids, Pheidon
THE IDEA OF MINISTRY IN WORKS OF PHILO OF ALEXANDRIA
Yu. S. Krasnobaeva
The idea of ministry is not one of the main ideas in Philo’s philosophy, but it is very important for us in the context of the whole history of this idea. Philo uses the term θεραπεύω, θεραπεία in the traditional meaning of ministry to God. But he uses also terms λειτουργέω, λειτουργία and λατρέω, λατρεία in meanings usual for the text of LXX, not for Greek literature. The most important fact is that Philo uses the terms διακονέω, διακονία, διάκονος to express the idea of the ministry to God. These terms are not used very often and mainly with allegorical sense but they seem very important for evolution of διακονία in the New Testament where it become one of the basic conceptions of the new religion.
Key words: Philo of Alexandria, early christianity, idea of diaconia
FUNERAL CLOTH FROM THE MUSEUM OF THE CATHEDRAL OF CHRIST THE SAVIOUR (PRELIMINARY STUDY RESULTS)
A. M. Fridmann
The funeral cloth from the Museum of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour is a bust-length portraiture of a girl wearing a bicolored dalmatic and holding the ankh in her right hand.

There exist over twenty similar clothes, most of which were discovered at Antinoopolis necropolis excavation in 1896-1911. Preliminary study shows that the Moscow cloth was made in Antinoopolis in the second half of the 3rd century AD. It remains to investigate the problem of a Christian square nimbus on this and other shrouds of the Antinoopolis type. It is rather diffi cult to identify whether the shroud background displays a Christian nimbus as square nimbi of Coptic and then of Roman saints of late ancient and early medieval period were put in lifetime portraits of saints.
