I'm afraid that i'm out of my league. Thanks for the note, but I wonder if I would have known the answer even in english. Do we have a chat room for this stuff? I loved receiving Statius in latin, no less! When I tried to special order the Thebaid from a bookstore a yr. or so ago, I got a "WHO?" And it's Statius, not STASHIUS. Thanks. What do you folks do? Or you students, poets yourselves? CLassicists? How do you do it? love, bodywhomp
