Tuesday, 28 July 2015. Naming practices of the Romans. Suetonius, de Grammaticis. Libertinus Athenis est natus. Capito Ateius notas iuris consultus inter grammaticos rhetorem, inter rhetores grammaticum fuisse. De eodem Asinius Pollio in libro, quo Sallustii scripta reprehendit ut nimia priscorum verborum affectatione oblita, ita tradit: In eam rem adiutorium ei fecit maxime quidam Ateius Praetextatus. Coluit postea familiarissime C. Sallustium et eo defuncto Asinium Pollionem, quos historiam compone...

Farrago: Patterns of naming
http://farrago-cambridge.blogspot.com/2015/07/patterns-of-naming.html
Monday, 20 July 2015. For shared elements in the names of fathers and sons, see Thucydides 1.29.2, which lists the following Corinthians:. The last, with the patronymic suffix, is of particular interest: either Isarchosson son of Isarchos or Isarchos Jr the son of Isarchos Sr. Note too: a Syracusan called Hermocrates, who was the son of Hermon (Th.4.58.1). One very early Rhodian inscription. Reads as follows ( LSAG. Adds a few details):. Το̑ Πραξσιόδο τ οὐφύλ. That is, Euthytidas. The son of Praxiodos.

Farrago: Ἄξῡλος Il.6.12
http://farrago-cambridge.blogspot.com/2015/07/il-612.html
Wednesday, 22 July 2015. One Axylos, son of Teuthras (stem Τευθραν- suffix -ίδης), makes a briefish appearance in Iliad. 612-19, as the first of Diomedes' victims. He had been wealthy, was a friend to many, and offered hospitality from his roadside home. None of his friends came to help him or his squire and charioteer-sidekick Kalesios. His name looks like it should be from the adjective ἄξῠλος. 4852) For these names, see the tables below (with thanks to the LGPN. To which add Ἅ̄γυλλος.

Farrago: Further helpful Boeotians
http://farrago-cambridge.blogspot.com/2015/07/further-helpful-boeotians.html
Thursday, 2 July 2015. From Athens, we meet one Peilestrotidas. Who illustrates (1) the labial treatment of a labiovelar even before front vowels (cf. τῆλε. Etc), (2) -ρο- not -ρα- as the reflex of a syllabic r, and (3) the spelling ει for an original long e. Vowel Cf. *Τηλεστρατίδης (-ίδᾱς). Note, by contrast, the use of the suffix -ίδᾱς, not -ιος, as a deriverative of a (father's) name. A comparable case of the labial treatment of a labiovelar is illustrated by Θιόφειστος in IG. Μα χος Θη[βαῖος] ( LGPN.

Farrago: Number plates
http://farrago-cambridge.blogspot.com/2015/07/number-plates.html
Thursday, 2 July 2015. For some time, on my way to work, I used to see a (non-personalised) number plate that happened to end 'LXX'. I assume that this was not the owner's choice. This one caught my attention two days ago. One wonders whether there is a companion vehicle with the plate 'agris'. A landrover, maybe. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Farrago: Notes on Euboean inscriptions: Nestor's Cup... et al.
http://farrago-cambridge.blogspot.com/2015/06/notes-on-inscriptions-nestors-cup.html
Monday, 29 June 2015. Notes on Euboean inscriptions: Nestor's Cup. et al. Presents a very diplomatic edition of this very famous and much discussed inscription (discovered in 1954). Colvin, no. 25 is less conservative. Other restorations have been proposed by Calvert Watkins. And PA. Hansen. Colvin notes that ποτήριον is not a Homeric word, but survives into Modern Greek as ποτήρι. Its place in Modern Greek follows its place in the Koine (e.g. 1 Corinthians. Twice (at least): Stich.

Κατὰ τοὺ̣ς̣ ἀγροὺς μεγα ῥοπάλῳ καὶ χαμαιρ̣ι̣φ̣ῆ̣ ἐ̣μὲ. Ποι ησάμενοι πληγαῖς κατέκοψαν καὶ τὴν βοῦν̣ ἀφείλαντο,.
