Bill really seems to like Dio Chrysostom; he has now put online Oration 1, Oration 2, and Oration 3, which are the three first instalments of a series of four dealing with the nature of imperial rule. They were addressed to the emperor Trajan (picture; Valkhof Museum, Nijmegen). He added Discourse 28 and Discourse 29, the notorious Melancomas texts.
In Bill’s Antiquaries Shoebox, an odd essay on Homeric heroes and fish, and a sequel.
I have added two very small articles, one on Alexandria ad Issum (modern Iskenderun) and one on the island of Tenedos. Nothing very special.
