Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The listeners who follow them are like performers, hired and bought. They huddle together with a middleman; in the middle of a basilica sportulae are handed out as openly as in a triclinium. They run from one court to another for the same wage. Hence these people are called not without humour Sophocleses from sophos and kaleisthai; in Latin the name given them is laudiceni. Sherwin-White in his commentary on this passage deals only with the explanatory words in Greek in the manuscripts, which he would delete as a gloss.2 One could add that Pliny would have known that kalein and not kaleisthai was required as an explanation, since the parasites shout Sophos, i.e., kalein sophos-Hoorayshouters, while sophos kaleisthai s not meaningful at all; kaleisthai seems to be a mistake prompted by the word vocantur. But it is unclear, despite Sherwin-White, why we need the Latin variant. The whole explanation looks like a grammarian's gloss, since Hooray-shouters are obviously the claqueurs wanted in a law court, while Dinner-praisers interrupts the argument. There is a more interesting problem. Why does Pliny find it obvious that handing out sportulae as bribes in a basilica should be compared to handing them

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
