I do need to take a week off and just potter around. But I’m still hacking away at the Eusebius.
I sometimes go out to a local restaurant. I tend to find that it takes them a while to take my order, to serve each course, and so on, so I tend to take a book with me. In this case I took the print-off’s of the Eusebius volume, and a red pen, and worked through the Syriac fragments. I came back and typed them up, and then did similar changes to the Coptic and Arabic. And … somehow it’s 5 O’Clock!
Looking at the Coptic made me realise how little related these were to the rest of the fragments. I suspect that a good many of them are spurious.
I’ve passed the manuscript across to someone to advise on whether to get it professionally edited or to go straight to typesetting.
Roger, we are all grateful for what you do.
The good wishes are appreciated – thank you. I need to spend some downtime next week, I think!
