    Kairete. To say 'Thank you' for such an incredibly magnificent achievement seems poor return, but from an amateur theologian and enthusiast (who inevitably studied classics for many years at school but majored in Chemistry), 'Thank you!' I pre-ordered your new Lexicon as soon as it appeared on-line as on-the-way using a gift token. It has been a true delight to use it when reading through the recent Tyndale House's NT and alongside it Ann Nyland's The Source translation. To be able to see the range of meanings of so many Koine Greek words has led to greater insight and truer understanding of many NT passages. I have had it by me for two years now and have thoroughly enjoyed perusing the pages. On a personal note I am sorry that you did not reference the LXX, but then we can't have everything! A marvellous resource which as you say will benefit many generations of students to come. Again, Thank you.

    John Chadwick's book "The Decipherment of Linear B" first piqued my lifelong curiosity about Cretan scripts. The death of Michael Ventris at such an early age was truly a very sad loss for the study of ancient Mediterranean scripts and languages. But personally the one I REALLY want to see much more progress in is Etruscan. So much is already known about its structure but not the language itself. Hopefully somewhere in Etruria there is a large cache of inscriptions still waiting to be discovered!

    What you academics need is to split up your lecture, as academics, do the research, put together the research and present it to be as a lecture, and then hire a professional speaker, one who has a voice and a continuation of word for lecturing not a bunch of F ends and buds, and owes things like that, it ruins, the whole lecture professional lecture.

    The answer is simple, it did not. The surviving text, with the exception of a single, longer scene often copied as a standalone work, hasn't made it to our times. It's a discontinuous patchwork of various pieces, which are known to have been a coherent narrative. Unlike most authors who suffered from the wearing effect of time, there are evidences that Petronius was mutilated, with countless passages removed, overwritten or shortened on purpose. Petronius however was known in learned society-his poetry was abundant, and he's mentioned several times in Anthologia Latina, Isidore of Seville, or Fulgentius-so it is known that a large number of manuscripts circulated. A notable class of manuscripts copied in Italy in the fourteenth century for example show less than a third of the total length, carefully removing any mention of homosexuality, which can be deduced from narrative incoherence; for example, a hand removed all the text between 8.4 and 9.4, from “dedissem poenas” to “cum ego proclamarem,” describing an attempted male-on-male rape on Giton, but failed to notice that the narrator changed there, leaving a shift in speakers unaccounted for. For a comprehensive overview, please read Wade T. Richardson, “Reading and Variant in Petronius: Studies in the French Humanists and their Manuscript Sources,” Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1993 or, for a shorter summary, Gareth Schmeling's translation in the Loeb Classical Library collection, Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 2020, 22-50.
