Hestiaea of Alexandria
This article provides a reconsideration of the work of Hestiaea of Alexandria, a scholar who was active during or before the early second century bce . Through a detailed examination of the available evidence, it shows that a number of modern understandings about Hestiaea’s life and work are based on questionable interpretations of the surviving material and need to be revised. The article includes an edition, translation, and commentary on the r…
Herodotus 2.101.1
Dog Bowls and Clean Socks
Publication of a Ptolemaic papyrus fragment from the collection of the Bodleian Library, Oxford: Bodl. MS. Gr. class. f. 29 (P). The papyrus was excavated by Flinders Petrie at Gurob, Egypt. It is an account of daily expenses from around the middle of the third century BC, and is of interest for the rare items listed and for some unusual vocabulary. A small scrap from the same find, MS. Gr. class. f. 28 (P), is also published as an appendix
Four Christian Papyri in Oxford
This paper presents editions of four papyri from the collection of the Bodleian Library, Oxford. Three of the papyri come from the site of the monastery of Saint Apollo at Deir el-Bala’izah. All of the fragments are Christian and belong to around the sixth or seventh century. (1) MS Gr. liturg. f. 1 (P) is a hymn, preserved in complete form. (2) MS Gr. liturg. f. 3 (P) is a papyrus with a doxology and trisagion, the back of which seems to have be…

Hymn fragments on a papyrus from the ruins of the monastery at Deir el-Bala’izah, Egypt
In BZ 18 (1909), 309 -323, Paul Maas published six hymnsbelonging to the fifth or sixth century.T he earliest textual witnesses he was able to use were P. Lond.III 1029 of the sixth century (for onlyone of the six hymns), and MS Erlangensis 1234 (53 v -56 r ), dated to 1025 (for all six of the hymns).Mercati in 1932 discovered that parts of the fourth and fifth hymn werealso attested on adifferent papyrus of the fifth or sixth century (P.Lond.Lit…
A Problem in Augustine, Confessions 3.21
This paper reconsiders a problem raised by the verb substomachans in Augustine’s Confessions (3.21). Contrary to what has been argued by a recent scholar, the verb does not mean “to belch (out)”. Since the word only occurs once in the writings of Augustine, and only appears again in Latin in the derivative writings of Julian of Eclanum ( C.Iul. imp. 6.16), there has always been some debate about its form and meaning. The verb is probably nothing …

A Problem in Gregory of Nazianzus, Epistle 4
This paper reconsiders an alleged textual problem raised by the word ξουφηρία in one of Gregory of Nazianzus's letters to Basil (Ep. 4). Contrary to what has been argued by a recent scholar, the text does not need emendation. The problem can be resolved by means of lexicographical analysis: ξουφηρία is merely a spelling variant of ζοφερία ("darkness
On the Name of an Obscure Musical Instrument
There is uncertainty about the form and meaning of the word καβιθακάνθιον , the name of a type of aulos instrument mentioned in a Byzantine Greek alchemical treatise. The problem can be resolved if the word is interpreted as a hybrid bilingual compound of Late Latin cauitas (‘hollow’) and Greek ἀκάνθιον (‘little thorn’), meaning ‘hollow little thorn’. Aulos instruments were thought to be ‘hollow’ owing to the internal cavity through which the per…
A Letter and a Petition
Publication of fragments of two Ptolemaic papyri from the collection of the Bodleian Library, Oxford. The first fragment is part of a letter (probably a report about a local dispute), while the second is part of a petition by a woman. The papyri both come from Gurob in the Fayum and can be assigned to the third century BC
Through the Narrow Gate of Heaven
This paper presents editions of two small fragments of Christian papyri from the collection of the Bodleian Library, Oxford: Bodl. MS. Gr. th. g. 5 (P) and Bodl. MS. Gr. th. f. 16 (P). The first fragment deals with the two gates of heaven, the second with the subject of death
Ovid Metamorphoses 14.81–83 and 15.464–66
Ovid Metamorphoses 14.81–83 and 15.464–66 display a repeated wordplay on ira, which corresponds to the anger of human beings and gods being depicted in those lines. This wordplay may relate to the broader background of epic μῆνις
A Fragment of Aristotle in the Hesiodic Scholia
A scholion to Hesiod Opera et dies 361–62 says that Aristotle commented on the saying “μὴ παρὰ τοῦτο.” Scholars have doubted the attribution, but there are reasons to think that it is genuine. Aristotle used the saying in his other writings, and it was also associated with him in antiquity. The scholiast seems to have been influenced by philosophical reading, with the result that the Aristotelian reference appears in an unusual context
Herodotus 3.34.4
Cambyses was eager to know the opinions of the Persians about himself. While sitting with some Persians and with Croesus, he posed this question to them: .1

Ars Adeo Latet (Ovid, Metamorphoses 10.252)
The problems recently detected in the famous words ars adeo latet arte sua (Ov. Met . 10.252) can be resolved if the line is repunctuated on the basis of an unjustly neglected interpretation put forward by Byzantine and Renaissance scholars
On Plato Theaetetus 149d3
This note discusses a textual problem in Plato Theaetetus 149d3. It argues against previous attempts to solve the textual problem by suggesting that the sentence contains a lacuna rather than merely a textual corruption. It then offers a few textual suggestions for how to fill the lacuna. The piece also contains some discussion of the philosophical context of the line, as well as its debated linguistic features
How Brasidas Was Honoured at Skione (Thucydides 4.121.1)
The crux at Thucydides 4.121.1 has recently come under renewed scrutiny from scholars, but decisive conclusions were not reached. This article argues that commentators have not yet taken into account all relevant considerations, and that as a result the passage still remains incompletely understood. The verb προσήρχοντο is derived from προσέρχομαι , not προσάρχομαι . The unusual imperfect form προσήρχοντο (instead of expected Attic προσῇσαν ) can…

The Manuscripts of the Scholia to the Hesiodic Aspis
This paper presents a collation and investigation of some manuscripts of Ioannes Pediasimus’ scholia paraphrastica to the Hesiodic Aspis . The paper demonstrates that the editions currently used by scholars are based on an insecure textual foundation

The Rhetoric of Religious Conflict in Arnobius’ Adversvs Nationes
In this paper I discuss the ways in which the early Christian writer Arnobius of Sicca used rhetoric to shape religious identity in Aduersus nationes . I raise questions about the reliability of his rhetorical work as a historical source for understanding conflict between Christians and pagans. The paper is intended as an addition to the growing literature in the following current areas of study: (i) the role of local religion and identity in the…

Notes on a Nestorian Spell against Headaches
Christian and Non-Christian Agricultural Deities
This article explores a continuity in the use of agricultural deities in rural areas by Christians and non-Christians. Beginning with a discussion of a passage from Arnobius’ Adversus nationes , it argues that the same traditions and spells emerge in the agricultural sphere in both non-Christian and Christian times, even though the deities described in the traditions and spells changed. It does so by comparatively analysing different agricultural…
