I put online an article on Taucheira, a Greek city in the Cyrenaica that was especially important in the Byzantine age. As it is mentioned in one of the letters of Synesius, I put that epistle online as well. The venerable bishop shows his darkest side: full of contempt, he writes about a man with very, very bad ancestors - a prostitute about eight centuries ago. Finally, the Palaestra of Lepcis Magna is also online, mainly for completeness' sake, because it is utterly uninteresting.
Bill has put online Plutarch's Sayings of Spartan Men and the Sayings of Spartan Women. Plutarch used these two collections when he was composing his biographies, and hardly bothers to offer context. After all, they were just an aid for when he was writing. Because he does not mention his sources, we may have some reservations about the quality of these collections.
