The lexicographer Julius Pollux, in his discussion of the Greek word analogeion “reading desk”, remarks that it did not occur in any of the authors chosen as models of correct Attic usage; however, he says, analogeion was the name of a fountain in Athens and the word appeared in the treatise On Old Comedy of the Alexandrian scholar Eratosthenes of Cyrene. This article discusses the meaning of some problematic points in the passage of Pollux and the significance of the fragment of Eratosthenes.File allegati a questo prodotto
