Thinking about the various scandals in academia regarding data fraud and broken peer review. First, I’m incredibly grateful for the network of friends and colleagues who read my work, improve it, and save me from errors. A good editor is an amazing gift.

I will take 5584 (the collection of short biographies) and the Manetho (5588-90) if it's not too tedious to scan... this is delightful

Yes. Progressive voices trained in antiquity have been talking about this for *years* and *years*. There are unfortunately still folks in Classics that will jump on any bandwagon that gives Classics as a field more attention in the hopes of helping “save” Classics +

"Prospective" I'm not sure, but on gynecological examination of wives there's Ulpian Ed bk 24 = Digest 25.4.10: a rescript issued in response to a striking request:

Ulpian Ed bk 24 = Digest 25.4.10: dispute ensues when a husband alleges that his (now-ex) wife is pregnant, but she denies; imperial rescript summarizes case and disposition.

I can't wait to read this, but in the meantime, I'm organizing a Critical Ancient World Studies reading group, zooming once a month to discuss each other's papers (and soon to discuss this book!) and move this forward. If you're interested, let me know: you don't have to present a paper to attend.
