Abstract: Kevin Wilkinson has identified some clues, clues in the text of some epigrams by Palladas, which, which in his view, enable us to date this poet back to the age of Constantine, earlier than had previously been assumed. He tries seeks to prove this new chronology with the help of a papyrus (P. Ct. YBR inv. 4000), which he attributes to Palladas. Scholars however have challengeddebated about the attribution of the papyrus and/orrefuted Wilkinson’s new chronology for Palladas. More recently, Wilkinson tried to defend his hypothesis with the help of an epigram by Palladas (AP 6.85), that which supposedlywould mentions a Rroman military-administrative title (-πριλάριος) that was abolished at the start of the fourth century CE. The present article will propose a new interpretation for AP 6.85: departing from the acceptance of Wilkinson’s arguments about -πριλάριος, it will be demonstrated that Gordioprilarios is in fact the early fourth century military saint Gordius, mentioned for the first time in a homily (nr. 18) of 370-378 CE by S.t Basil, and that the Timothy of the epigram is the Alexandrian patriarch of ca. 381-385 CE. It may thus be inferrd that Palladas wastherefore still alive after 370 CE. The article will also demonstrate that the AP-poet Eutolmius Scholasticus Illustris is in fact Flavius Eutolmius Tatianus.

This article presents convincing new arguments in support of an attribution to Sappho of a series of fragments in Alcaic stanzas (frr. 137 and 168C V.) and formulates a hypothesis about which book of the Alexandrian edition might have contained them. Moreover, it discusses other fragments, by both Sappho and Alcaeus: Sapph. fr. 138 V.; Alc. fr. 384 V. and inc. auct. fr. 23 V.

Abstract: All the editors of Sapph. fr. 117 V. print the text with the words †χαίροιϲ ἀ νύμφα† between cruces and overlook a testimonium to the fragment which is quoted
in the schol. vet. in Arat. Phaen. 250. This scholion, which guarantees for the first time Sappho’s authorship, transmits a probably older reading of the text, which is almost correct, both textually and metrically. Thus the schol. vet. in Arat. Phaen. 250 helps us to restore the original, “Alexandrian” reading of the passage: <x> χαῖρε, νύμφα, χαιρέτω δ᾽ὀ γάμβροϲ.

Abstract: The problem of the attribution of the short Latin poem of the early imperial period known among the scholars as Ilias Latina and attributed in the manuscripts either to Homer, to Pindar, or to the almost unknown consul suffectus of the year 90 AD Baebius Italicus has been debated since the 19th cent. Around 1992 it became clear that the attribution to Baebius Italicus in the manuscript Vindob. 3509, f. 23r has been added by the Austrian classicist, historian, physician and diplomat J. Cuspinianus (1473 – 1529). The source of Cuspinianus' attribution still remains unknown. The name Baebius Italicus occurs only in the manuscript and in two ancient inscriptions. The author proposes to identify the source for Cuspinianus' attribution exactly with the ancient inscriptions.

In recent articles and contributions, Kevin W. Wilkinson has identified some clues, in the text of several epigrams by Palladas of Alexandria, which, in his view, enable us to date this epigrammatic poet back to the age of Constantine. By analysing a number of passages, Wilkinson backdates Palladas by about sixty years, possibly as far back as a
century. He tries to prove this new chronological reconstruction with the help of a new papyrus find, which he himself has published and which he would like to attribute to Palladas. There is no evidence that the Yale Papyrus (P. Ct. YBR Inv. 4000) is really a codex with epigrams by Palladas. As a result, its dating is still uncertain and the traditional
date ascribed to Palladas (between the end of the 4th and the beginning of the 5th century AD) is still the most logical, and is confirmed by a long series of epigrams attributed to the Alexandrian poet in the Greek Anthology.

Abstract: Attraverso l’analisi di una serie di passi tratti dai frammenti del P.Oxy. 3722 (hypomnema ad Anacreonte) si tentano nuove strade nell’interpretazione e nella comprensione testuale, ricorrendo anche a nuovi supplementi o ipotesi di lettura. Dalle colonne meglio conservate del papiro si ottiene un valore approssimato di 30±3 lettere per ogni rigo, una media che, con le dovute cautele, può essere estesa a tutto il rotolo nella sua conformazione originaria.
Abstract: Durch die Untersuchung einer Reihe von Stellen, die aus den Fragmenten des P.Oxy. 3722 (Papyruskommentar zu Anakreon) stammen, wird versucht, den überlieferten Text soweit möglich zu rekonstruieren und auszulegen, indem man auch neue Ergänzungen und Lesungen vorschlägt. Aus den am besten erhaltenen Kolumnen des Papyrus kann man einen Durchschnitt von ungefähr 30±3 Buchstaben je Zeile rechnen.
Abstract: Through analysis of some passages from P.Oxy. 3722 (commentary on Anacreon) we will try to find something new in relation to the interpretation and the textual comprehension, also with the aid of supplements and new readings. Text columns, which have been preserved at their best, contained about 30±3 letters per line, an average which, with due caution, could be extended to the whole roll.

Abstract: Textual notes and new reconstruction of Sappho Fr. 90a, col. III 22–23 V. (from a
papyrus commentary: P. Oxy. XXI 2293). In l. 23 ἀν[εμ]ο̣φορητο[ cannot be a lemma from a poem
of Sappho, as printed by Voigt, because it has an impossible metrical structure and seems to be a
late and prose word, not a poetic one. It also belongs to the language of exegetic and scholiastic
works. An analysis of its occurrences could help to reconstruct the original Sapphic passage.

Isthm. 1.10-11 can be attributed to the disciples of Aristarchus, perhaps to Chaeris.

Der Papyrus, 1996 von der Beinecke Library erworben, enthält die Reste von ca. 60 griechischen Epigrammen. Wie neuere Forschungen ergeben haben, ist die ursprüngliche Zuweisung an Palladas nicht haltbar. Die kynischen Themen, der neu entdeckte Epitaphios auf Philitas, die Grabepigramme, das Interesse an Pflanzen, an Krankheiten und überhaupt an medizinischen Inhalten lassen eher an die Zeit von Lukian, Galen und Aelian denken. Der Demetrius aus dem Epigramm 15 etwa dürfte mit dem Demetrius von Lukians Toxaris (27-34) identisch sein. Der Papyrus soll nicht nur in historischer und philosophiegeschichtlicher, sondern auch in medizin-und pharmaziehistorischer Hinsicht untersucht werden; er könnte uns neue Erkenntnisse besonders zu den beiden letztgenannten Bereichen bringen.
