Preliminary considerations on the columns and framings of the Nicetas codex (Laur. Plut. 74.7)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The Nicetas codex (Laur. Plut. 74.7) dated 10th century is the oldest extant Greek manuscript on Hippocrates and his followers with commentaries of orthopaedic methods on fractures, luxations, subluxations, and bandaging techniques. Of visual interest are two texts, Apollonius of Citium on methods of joint treatment techniques, and Soranus of Ephesus on bandaging. The Apollonius of Citium text contains 29 color illustrations of Hippocrates techniques of reducing luxations of the joints, framed with semicircular pediments, two columns and arches. These frames are similar to the columns and arches seen in the Eusebian Gospel tables. The authors discuss the meaning of these frames as they apply to the Eusebian Gospels, and their importance as mnemonic devices for the Apollonius of Citium illustrations.
Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
