GRBS 64.4:

Leah Kronenberg, “Marcus Argentarius the Iambic Epigrammatist: Homer’s Irus Episode and Philostratus’ ‘Sweet Cure’”

In Anth.Pal. 11.320 Philostratus’ “sweet cure” for his abandonment by Antigone is autofellatio, a joke anticipated by punning references to penis size in the first two lines, which also allude to the ‘iambic’ Irus episode in the Odyssey.

Roser Homar, “Poetry and Handcrafts in Epic and Pindaric Scholia: ἀναπλάττω in Context”

To describe an act of creation, the scholia and also Lucian's Prometheus use ἀναπλάττω in order to stress the material aspect and a process of shaping based on a model, thus evoking artisanal creations.

W. Graham Claytor, “Record of an Enslaved Woman’s Activities”

A papyrus of 141/2, probably from Soknopaiou Nesos, gives unusual information in describing and counting missed work-days.

Alexey V. Muraviev and Mikhail A. Vedeshkin, “Eusebius Pope of Rome, a Legendary Figure of the Hagiographical Tradition”

‘Pope Eusebius’ of the Syriac Julian Romance was not a simple fabrication in the sixth century but was pieced together by conflating several historical Eusebii amid the late antique ambiguity of Rome and New Rome.

Philip Rance, “Some Micro-fragments of Menander Protector’s Histories: The Evidence of the Lexicon Αἱμωδεῖν”

Study of fragments of Menander surviving as lemmata and quotations in this neglected ninth-/tenth-century lexicon can clarify their nature and transmission and their significance for understanding the Histories.
