On the text, language, and interpretation of Apellis’ defixio (SEG 57.905B)
No full textApellis’ defixio (SEG 57.905B, Gela [?], ca. 475–450) is an extraordinary and yet very challenging text. It has garnered significant attention due to its relevance to the history of Sicilian festival culture. This paper highlights key linguistic, textual, and interpretative issues that remain debated, offering new solutions and deeper analysis. Additionally, it seeks to underscore the text’s formal sophistication—a dimension largely overlooked but deserving of sustained scholarly focus
CAD-based design for welding (DFW) method
No full textThe paper provides a method to integrate Design for Welding (DFW) method with CAD systems. The method is based on three main phases: (i) definition of DFW rules for the development of mechanical products, (ii) link of DFW rules with product geometrical features that are available by the investigation of the 3D model, and (iii) integration with CAD systems to support product design review. A method and a software tool are described including their features to help designers in the product development process. Case study aims to validate the proposed method in the identification of assembly issues early in the product development process. The CAD-based DFW tool is a useful assistant to avoid design problems related to the welding technology
La più antica testimonianza sul teatro a Siracusa? Nota a Diom. GL I p. 486, 27-31 Keil e [Prob.] Comm. in Verg. Buc. et Georg. p. 324, 23-325, 3 Hagen
No full textIt is generally believed that two passages in Diomedes and ps.-Probus testify to the existence of a theatre in Syracuse at the time of the Deinomenid tyrants, Hiero and Gelo. It is, however, more likely that the Hiero and Gelo of these grammatical sources are to be identified with the third-century tyrants Hiero II and Gelo II. Moreover, the abovementioned passages belong to a group of testimonia on the origins of bucolic poetry, and in the same vein they manipulate both mythological and historical material in order to achieve their primary goal, without aiming for an historically verifiable reconstruction
Ricostruzione scenica di Ar. Ec. 500-513
No full textA new reconstruction of the staging of lines 500-513 of Aristophanes’ Ekklesiazousai. Upon her return from the assem- bly, Praxagoras gives Blepyros’ clothes to a female slave who brings them inside the house. There is no need to postulate an empty stage at any point of this passage; καὶ [...] σὺ and κατευτρεπίζω at lines 509-510 can be given their standard meaning. Praxagoras’ pursues a twofold strategy for bringing Blepyros’ clothes inside; the only partial success of this strategy has implications for the development of the scene
Hesychiana Tarentina
No full textThis note deals with two Tarentine glosses transmitted by Hesychius. In the former (Hsch. α 4656 Latte ἄναυτα), I propose that the problematic form ἠπειρωτικά (printed as such, or wrongly emended, by various scholars) should
be corrected into ἢ παραυτίκα, which is palaeographically very plausible and paralleled by other glosses in the Lexicon. In the latter (Hsch. τ 433 Hansen –Cunningham †τελλίην), I propose to read Τελλήν, a personal name attested in Tarentum; the interpretamentum ὁ δεῖνα tells us that it was used to describe an unidentified person, precisely like Titius and Caius in Latin (and Tizio and Caio in Italian)
