The general rules for presentation and authentication of scholarly theses are excellent but quasi-absolute veto of use of first personal pronoun singular, especially in nominative, can be ridiculous. Henri de Montherlant refused to use circumlocutions such as the author of these pages just to avoid je l. Actually, such a pronouncement as could not have written wherein does not appear shows more selfconfidence or presumption than does find this phrase surprising in Isocrates 2.Having stated this opinion, I shall use pronouns and enough to describe two experiences I myself had 3. The editor of a classical journal once surprised me by asking me to authenticate thousand ships. I did not dare to suggest that he count them in Catalogue of Ships in Homer, Iliad 2. Nor did I refer him to Walter Leaf or to Fraenkel's note on Aeschylus Agamemnon line 45 because so punctilious an editor might have objected that 1 1 86 is not 1 ,000 4. 1 therefore meekly cited Vergil, Aeneid 2.198
