2 The inhabitants of Cos left much epigraphy in praise of the grammarian Nicias, whose political opponent was a harpist, but they nonetheless dug up his grave in rage at his tyranny, as we know from a chance epigram of his artistic colleague Krinagoras.

8 It is most regrettable that Ch. Kritzas has still not found time to publish the letter of the proconsul Q. Fabius Q.f. Maximus to the city of Dyme in 144, confirming the privileges of the Artists and providing other information from this critical period; it is now 30 years since it was discovered in Argos. Similar delays in making available (even to Greek colleagues) major texts from Dion and Amphipolis are having at least one effect: students of the ancient world are losing interest in doing research in the raw material of Greek culture. Soon there will be few left who can read such documents.
