Quote:It is remarkable how few times Arrian uses any derivative of this word in any of his surviving works.I regret not having a concordance to Arrian. It would be very handy. When I wrote about his use of the term μηχανή (many moons ago!) I was forced to read through the Greek text searching for the word. Old-school scholarship!
Quote:What about the other issue?I confess that I didn't fully understand your problem. I shall re-read your post (again).
