Marble Plaques in Tombstones from the Southern Suburb of Tauric Chersonesos
type: item
description: During the excavations of the necropolis in the Southern Suburb of Chersonesos in 2021–2023, eight marble tombstone plaques with inscriptions were discovered. They date from the third to the second century BC: Στράτιππος Ὕμνου; [- -]τας [- -]λειος; Παρθε[- -] Πυθίων[ος], χαῖρ[ε]; Διονύ[σιος ?] Διονυ[σίου ?]; [- -]ΚΛΕΙΣ[- -] | [Ἀπολ]λωνίδ[ου]; Κλυμένα Ἀπολλᾶ [Ἡ]ρογείτου [γ]υνά; Παρθένο[κλῆς?] Διοτίμ[ου]; Πολ[υκάστα ?] Δαμ[- -] Σιμ[αίου] [γυ]νά. The use of limestone tombstone stelae with small marble plaques is characteristic of the funerary practices of Megara and several of its colonies. The Chersonesos tombstones of this type date from the beginning of the third century BC to the end of the second century AD and constitute slightly more than one quarter of the funerary monuments known at the present time. The majority of these belong to the third to second centuries BC.

New Funerary Lead Urns with Inscriptions from the Necropolis of Tauric Chersonesos
type: item
description: In 2023, the exploration of the necropolis on the premises of the Southern Suburb of Tauric Chersonesos revealed a monumental construction of an exedra combining memorial building and family tomb functions. Finds from the two slabbed graves and two stone sarcophagi at the base of the exedra confirm that, in Chersonesos, burials carried out in the first to the second centuries AD in accordance with the rites of both inhumation and cremation could coexist within a single burial complex. In one of the sarcophagi, four lead urns with graffiti [Ἀν]τισθένου, Διοσκουρίδου, Νάνωνος Ἀντισθένου и [Ν]εικ(- -) were found. It was the first time that several “signed” lead urns were discovered in situ in the same family tomb. In Chersonesos, such finds are rare. Up to now, only six such urns are known (excavations of K. K. Kostsyushko-Valyuzhinich and R. G. Loeper). One of the names – Ἀντισθένης – has not hitherto been attested in Chersonesos. In contrast, the names Διοσκουρίδης and Νάνων are well known from the Chersonese decrees dated to the first half of the second century AD. They belonged to the representatives of noble Chersonesos families ruling the city. Generally, the analysis of palaeography, onomastics, and accompanying inventory allows us to date the urns with the graffiti from burial 4 to between the end of the first century and the middle of the second centuries AD. The article provides a catalogue of all ten currently known lead urns with inscriptions from the Chersonesos necropolis.

Certum est dare lintea retro: Juvenal 3. 205; 5. 141, 143–144; 6. 195, 197–198 Reconsidered
type: item
description: The article re-examines five problems in three passages of Juvenal. In 3. 205 recubans sub eodem marmore Chiron cannot imply a sculptural table support, since the personage lives in extreme poverty. Instead, marmore must be taken ironically (cf. coccina in Mart. 2. 43. 8) and eodem as ‘aforementioned’: a tiny cheap stand for vessels is described as if it were a marble display table for precious cups. Mycale in 5. 141 is Trebius’ concubine: her triplets cannot be Trebius’ legitimate heirs, hence Virro indulges their children. Nunc in v. 141 is to be understood within the irrealis discourse: “now, when you are (hypothetically) rich” (cf. 10. 43). In v. 138 tu (Φ) is to be preferred to tunc (PRFO). In 5. 143–144 a waistcoat, small nuts, and pennies cannot be gifts to the triplets. Rose was right in taking viridem thoraca as a metonymy for a tamed monkey (hence schol. vet. ad loc. …ut simiae), rogatum as a supine and the pair of -que’s as mock epic style: the monkey begs for pennies and small nuts in reward for the performance. In 6. 195 relictis must be retained in the sense of ‘refrained from’ (cf. Pers. 5. 61; Hor. Serm. 2. 6. 89; AP 150) and taken impersonally as referring to the Romans in general: ‘you use in public words that but lately were refrained from (even) under the blanket’. In 6. 197–198 the words ut tamen omnes subsidant pinnae are not addressed to the old woman (‘to flatten out all <your> feathers’), but express the opposite of quod enim non excitet inguen in v. 196; the ut clause is pseudo-final: the effect of the old woman’s ugly face is presented as a purpose.

A Critical Note on Servius’ Commentary on Verg. Aen. 6. 1–2
type: item
description: This note suggests that, in defending Tucca and Varius’ relocation of Aen. 6. 1–2 from the end of the fifth book to their current position, Servius did not originally cite the Homeric ὣς φάτο δάκρυ χέων (Il. 1. 357 and Od. 24. 438) but simply ῾Ώς ἔφαθ᾽, as a reference to the opening of Od. 13.

On Some Triumphs in the Epoch of Civil Wars in the Roman Republic
type: item
description: The article is devoted to some triumphs that are usually perceived as victory celebrations over fellow citizens in bella civilia. The author analyzes the triumphs of Sulla, Caesar, and D. Brutus (the latter triumph was voted but not held). In his opinion, there were no signs of celebrations of victory over fellow citizens during Sulla’s triumph; only the victory over Mithridates VI of Pontus was celebrated. Such hints might have been dropped during Caesar’s African triumph, but modern researchers seem to overestimate their importance. Only late authors perceived the African and Spanish triumphs as victory celebrations also over fellow citizens. At the same time, the absence of any negative reaction to the granting to Decimus Brutus of a triumph over Antonius is noteworthy. It shows deep changes in the perception of triumphs at the end of the Roman Republic.

Sophocles OT 809: The Response of the Defense
type: item
description: This paper is aimed as an answer to the article about the guilt of Oedipus in killing Laius, recently published in Hermes by N. Almazova, where the author concludes that Oedipus is guilty of killing in excess of self-defense. The analysis of the sources on Athenian homicide law shows that the notion “the excess of self-defense” is alien to the Athenian juridical practice and that the killer could be acquitted if it was the killed who started the fight, even in the cases when the reaction exceeded the limits of necessary self-defense. On the other hand, the close look at the description of the scene at the crossroads in Soph. OT 800–813 shows that Sophocles presents Laius and his party as aggressors and Oedipus as defending his life. We interpret διπλᾶ κέντρα in v. 809 as “two goads” and illustrate the possibility of this interpretation by evidence from the vase painting.

Древнейшее место культа Эдипа [Alexander Zaicev: The Oldest Location of Oedipus’ Cult]
type: item
description: Although Pausanias (1. 30. 4) mentions a heroon of Oedipus in Colonus, it follows from the final scene of Soph. OC (1732, 1757–1763) that in Attica of Sophocles’ times, his burial site was considered unknown and there was no heroon erected over his grave. Despite the numerous sources we possess, there is no evidence of Oedipus’ cult in Thebes in historical times. However, there is a testimony (sch. Soph. OC 91) that Oedipus was buried in the sanctuary of Demeter in the Boeotian town of Eteon, identified with Scaphlae, at the foot of the Cithaeron. The inhabitants of such a secluded place could hardly claim the authenticity of this burial if it were challenged in Thebes or Colonus. This is an argument for supposing that the cult of Oedipus originated precisely in Eteon-Scaphlae. This is further supported by the hints in Soph. OR (421; 1451–1454) and Sen. Phoen. (13; 31) that Oedipus was destined to die on Cithaeron, if we apply Th. Zielinski’s method of reconstructing lost mythic versions from rudimentary motifs in tragedy.

Editing Porphyrio: A Cautionary Tale
type: item
description: Porphyrio’s commentary on Horace was last edited in 1894, after 70 years of chequered contributions from a succession of scholars: promising work announced in 1830 was followed by poor arguments, misdating of humanistic manuscripts, and failure to combine textual and historical evidence – shortcomings left partly unremedied in the edition of 1894. The present study of their persistence complements the analysis of the tradition published in 2023 by Stephen Oakley.

Juvenal 6. 422–423: Female Genital Massage?
type: item
description: Crista in Iuv. 6. 422 does not mean ‘clitoris’, ‘labia’, or ‘pubic hair’; and v. 422–423 do not imply manual stimulation of the female genitals: (1) the woman is described as mannish, and this would undermine her characterization; (2) in a close parallel at Mart. 7. 67, a vigorous massage is mentioned after physical exercises and before drinking and vomiting (v. 8); (3) v. 423 resists an obscene interpretation and suggests slapping as part of the massage (сf. Sen. Epist. 56. 1). Crista is best taken as a metaphor for a muscular nape: cf. ThLL IV. 1209. 70–77 s.v. (crests of dolphins, whales, and crocodiles) and Scr. physiogn. II. 75 Foerster (of prominent vertebrae): aspera cervix tamquam cristata; I. 368 τραχὺς αὐχὴν ὥσπερ λοφιά.

… in alium orbem terrarum delatos (Petron. 1. 2)

description: The figurative expression in alium orbem terrarum delatos (Petron. 1. 2) implies a change of natural element: those who pass from the schools of rhetoric to the forum become like fish out of water, and as such prove incapable of speaking. Elucidating this expression, with its strong proverbial background, also helps to clarify a passage in Philostratus, Epist. 28 Kayser.

It then illustrates via select examples the unique value of the corrections made by an early reader of one of the work’s principal manuscripts (Vatican Vat. lat. 3246) and probes some of the questions of text-critical method that this source raises.

The Use of πυρόω in the Septuagint, and its Value for Esther, Addition D 5
type: item
description: A careful analysis of the semantics and syntax of the verb πυρόω in the Septuagint helps to identify a hitherto unrecognised element of linguistic similarity between Addition D to Esther and 3 Maccabees (books originally written in Greek ab initio, that is, without a semitic Vorlage). This similarity, namely the metaphorical use of πυροῦμαι (passive) directly predicated of the person experiencing an intense emotion, followed by a dative denoting the trigger of fire ‘within’, should be added to those features supporting the hypothesis that Addition D to Esther, like most probably also Additions B and E, was originally written in what Septuagintal studies call “compositional Greek”.

Poem-Division in Sappho’s Papyrus Fragments
type: item
description: This paper examines how poem-division can sometimes be determined in Sappho’s papyrus fragments even when the left-hand margin of the papyrus is missing and there are therefore no corônides to guide us, by paying careful attention to language and style. Six instances are examined, from Books 1, 4, and 5 of Sappho’s ancient edition, and a division is advocated in each case.
