The Supplementum Epigraphicum Graecum project has as its aim the annual listing of Greek inscriptions published in a scattered fashion in journals, excavation reports and monographs, but not including indexed collections of epigraphic texts. (Apparatus criticus and occasional corrections of the editio princeps are provided). The project is further concerned with the collection of corrections to texts already published, as well as new interpretations proposed for such texts.

There are also brief reports on new studies in Greek epigraphy and on related topics in religion, politics, economics, onomastics, chronology, topography and the study of ancient institutions and their specialized vocabulary at large. Each volume is provided with an index and a concordance.

After an interruption in 1971 at volume XXV, the SEG was reconstituted on new principles on the initiative of the Koninklijke Nederlandse Akademie van Wetenschappen and the Koninklijke Akademie voor Wetenschappen, Letteren en Schone Kunsten van België ; it was adopted by the UAI as a Category A project in 1974. With the help of an international committee, the publications are edited at the rate of one volume per year. The project now encompasses the whole geographical area in which are found incised Greek inscriptions dating from the archaic age until the beginning of the Byzantine period. The new SEG started with vol. XXVI, which covered the year 1976 and appeared in 1979. Vol. XLI, covering the year 1991, was published in 1994.
