Where areas within a region have been grouped artificially, it is possible to calculate the percentage of probability that adjacent areas will be grouped together. This is worked out for four reconstructions of the effect of Cleisthenes' reform in Attica in the late sixth century B.C. Suggestions are made for the application of the method to modern regions

Illustrations from Roman surveyors’ manuals
O A W DilkeARTICLEImago Mundi1967Cited by: 4References: 13
The manuals of the Roman land surveyors (agrimensores) are accompanied in some of their manuscripts by illustrations. In the present article the miniatures in A (Wolfenbüttel, 6th‐7th century) and P (Vatican, 9th century) are analised under seven headings, as outlined on p. 12. A translation is given of the Latin text immediately preceding each miniature discussed, and comments are made on the text and the illustration. The article opens with a b…
Do Line Totals in the Aeneid Show a Preoccupation with Significant Numbers
Open AccessO A W DilkeARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1967References: 4
The idea of structural analysis of the Aeneid has been attacked recently by some who believe that too complicated mathematics are involved in line totals involving a golden mean. The object of the present article is to investigate whether simpler numerical effects are discernible in the poem, and whether these effects were deliberately inserted by Virgil. The significant numbers to be examined in this connexion are 3, 7, 12, and 30. The first thr…
Used Forms of Latin Incohative Verbs
Open AccessO A W DilkeARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1967References: 1
The grammarian Caesellius Vindex, writing under Trajan, criticized Furius Antias for his newly coined verbs lutescere, noctescere, opulescere and vīrescere . Their meanings in classical Latin are classified by Nicolaie as follows: ( a ) becoming, ( b ) the intensification of a quality, ( c ) the acquisition of a quality. Their number increases in post-classical Latin, in which we also find them used causatively as transitive verbs, e.g. innotesce…

The Greek Theatre Cavea
Open AccessO A W DilkeARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1948
Syracuse. C. Anti's book, Teatri Greci Arcaici , reached me only when my article had arrived at page-proof. His theory on the earlier form of the cavea at Syracuse is as follows. As mentioned on p. 152 above, there is, in addition to the semicircular water-channel at the foot of the cavea, an earlier rectilinear channel, also rock-cut. The latter is three-sided and roughly in the shape of a trapezium, with the two short sides pointing towards the…
The Greek Theatre Cavea
Open AccessO A W DilkeARTICLEThe Annual of the British School…1948References: 2
No records or vase-paintings of an early date give any idea of the appearance of the primitive theatre cavea, and few of the remains in Attica can be traced back even as far as the Persian Wars. The earliest form of the Theatre of Dionysus at Athens may belong to the first half of the sixth century B.C., but none of the cavea there is of very early date; and it is questionable whether the theatre at Thorikos is as old as the sixth century. There …

The Olympia Stadium. A detailed publication of the German excavations at the Olympia stadium is given by E. Kunze and H. Schleif, III. Olympiabericht (in JdI 1941), 12 ff., pls. 2–5, 9–10. This shows that the Greek καθέδρα well preserved, consisted of a paved area, fenced round, on which wooden seats must have been placed at the time of the festival. This, and not the later extension, is the ‘schlichte Steinpodium’ referred to in BSA XLIII, 159, …
The Codex Etonensis of Statius' Achilleid
Open AccessO A W DilkeARTICLEThe Classical Quarterly1949
The most reliable manuscript of Statius' Achilleid is the Puteaneus ( P ), and its authority, against the group QKC , is frequently upheld only by the Codex Etonensis ( E ). The readings of this manuscript (Eton College library), which contains, apart from the Achilleid , Maximian, Ovid's Remedium Atnoris and other poems, were collated by C. Schenkl, Wiener Studien , iv (1882), 96 ff., and were used by H. W. Garrod for the O.C.T. of Statius: Klot…
