Abstract
narrative, only to turn up later in Greek and Latin literature, sometimes as a proverbial paradigm. 2 Only the historian Nicolaus of Damascus (first century BC) dramatically elaborates upon the theme.When the boy approaches his father awaiting his death standing before the pyre, Croesus for the first time bursts out in tears.The lad emphatically begs his father to let him die together with him: "From the time I was born, I have always brought sorrow to you as well as to my self.I just couldn't be happy by the shame which was caused by my dumbness () and by the disgrace.Only when misfortune began to fall on us, was I able to utter my first words.The gods have only rendered me articulate as to be able to mourn our fate."Eventually, only Croesus ascends the pyre.His son beseeches the gods to come to help and not make perish all human piety together with Croesus. 3 I remember a vivid class room discussion which followed after the reading of the Croesus saga, where one student claimed not to be surprised at all at the -in our eyes somewhat ambiguous -attitude of Croesus towards his unnamed son.Travelling through Albania, he had come across villagers hiding their disabled child in the anonymity of their homes and thus covering their very existence with silence, while at the same time they took care of them, doing their outmost best to somehow secure their existence.As a historian of ancient childhood, I retained the story of Croesus' son and the subsequent classroom discussion as a possible subject for further inquiry.The subject returned to my mind, when I was discussing my interest in history of disabilities with some colleagues at Hamilton, Canada.I was informed about a passage in Ammianus Marcellinus' Res Gestae.During his Persian campaign, in May of the year 363, the Emperor Julian sacked the town of Maozamalcha."Then when the booty was divided () the emperor, being content with little, took only a dumb boy who was offered to him, who was World.",directed by Katariina Mustakallio.I would like to thank the Latin section of the Catholic University of Leuven for research facilities during my stay as a replacement professor.I am also particularly grateful towards my Ph.D. student, Bert Gevaert, whose inspiring enthusiasm initiated me into the history of disabilities, as

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot 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.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
