Abstract
THE ARISTODAMA DECREES The poetess Aristodama, daughter of Amyntas, was most likely born in the third quarter of the third century BCE in Smyrna on the west coast of Asia Minor. Many Greeks believed that Homer had been born in Smyrna, and even if Aristodama's Smyrna was a recreated city – Homer's Smyrna was destroyed in the early sixth century BCE and it was not refounded until about 300 BCE – still it must have had a strong sense of its literary past. Aristodama is known to us for one reason only: around 220 BCE she visited central Greece, where she performed her poems, and was honoured for her poetic accomplishments by two cities. The two decrees are as follows. In 218/217 BCE, the city of Lamia passed a decree in her honour ( IG Ⅸ 2, 62 = G(uarducci)17), framed as a decree of the Aetolian League, which controlled most of central and west Greece from the early third century BCE till well into the second. (After the introductory formula …) Since Aristodama, daughter of Amyntas, from Smyrna in Ionia, an epic poetess, came to our city and made many displays of her own poems in which she commemorated the ethnos of the Aetolians and the ancestors of the people making her apodeixis (performance) with complete enthusiasm … she should be proxenos of the city and benefactor and that an award should be made of citizenship, possession of land and home, epinomia , inviolability, safety both by land and sea, in war and peace to her and her children and her property for all time, and everything that is given to proxenoi and benefactors. Her brother and his children also are to have proxenia , citizenship, inviolability. (Concluding formula)

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.
