I wish that we had more! I got this one from the Plutarch, but it made me realize that there was perhaps something to be said for getting on the TLG and randomly opening authors about whom I had never heard a thing. I expected some big results, but there are lots of authors on there for whom nothing survives but a title! I was not unaware of this phenomenon, but I did not realize that so many of the authors who make up that almost paralysis-inducing list in the program are really little more than pulvis et umbra.
So the ellipsis made me run to the TLG to see what you had left out…and that’s all we have! WTF.
(where did you come across it?)
Oh, I see, the Plutarch. Should have thought of that…
When can I get a TLG implant?
