Richard, I, for one, think you are beating a dead horse. 
>From the start I have thought your speculation highly 
improbable, at best, for the reasons Edgar recently has 
articulated, but did not deem it a serious enough suggestion 
to merit a rebuttal. I think you have gone well beyond the 
central expertise of this list and, again as Edgar has 
suggested, you should float your proposition on the Classics 
list to get their response. If you can come back and tell us 
that they supported your proposal, that might be of 
interest; but I think the probability of that happening 
approaches 0. If you are not willing to go to the experts on 
this, then I personally (as a list-membe here, not as 
moderator) wish you would move on to another topic that is 
more directly related to our proper subject. Sheila McGinn
