    A LITIGANT IN ATHENS: DEMOSTHENES 56
    (The Classical Quarterly, 2016-05) Rigsby, KJ
    The speaker of Demosthenes 56 had lent money to a ship-owner Dionysodorus for a commercial voyage, and now is prosecuting him for breach of contract. The prosecutor is usually thought to be a metic. In the course of the speech he does not identify himself; but Libanius in his Argumenta of Demosthenes supplies a name, Darius: Arg. 54.1 Δαρεῖος καὶ Πάμφιλος Διονυσοδώρῳ δανείζουσι and 2 ὡς δὲ Δαρεῖος λέγει. The manuscripts of the Argumenta, which begin in the tenth century, are numerous; Foerster (VIII 677) and Dindorf/Blass (III xlviii) cite no variant for the name. Libanius’ source for this information is unrecoverable.

    Hauranus the Epicurean
    (Classical Journal, 2008-10-01) Rigsby, KJ
    C. Stallius Hauranus, an Epicurean in Naples known from his funerary epigram (Courtney no. 22), is shown by his cognomen to be a freedman from Syria, as the name Hauranus is Semitic and recurs in 2 Macc. 4.40.

    Pericles' decree censoring comedy
    (Transactions of the American Philological Association, 2020-09-01) Rigsby, KJ
    The claim that Pericles in 440 sponsored a decree restraining comedy because of the genre's offensiveness should be rejected. The claim depends on the scholium to Ar. Ach. 67; this paper argues that the alleged decree was the scholiast's deduction from a victor list that showed three non-performance years in a festival. These are better explained as a suspension in only one of the two dramatic festivals, occasioned not by hostility to freedom of speech but perhaps by limited resources caused by the siege of Samos.

    The date at 2 maccabees 11.21
    (Classical Quarterly, 2020-05-01) Rigsby, KJ
    In the course of describing the events of the 160s b.c.e., 2 Maccabees presents the texts of four letters: the Seleucid general Lysias to the Jews granting some concessions and referring their other demands to the king (11.16–21); two letters of Antiochus, to Lysias (11.22–6) and to the Jews (11.27–33), granting various concessions; and Roman envoys to the Jews (11.34–8) endorsing Lysias’ concessions. The third and fourth letters have at their ends (suspiciously) the same date, 15 Xanthikos of Seleucid year 148, c. March 164 b.c.e. The second has no date. The first, Lysias’ letter, is dated ἔτους ἑκατοστοῦ τεσσαρακοστοῦ ὀγδόου, διοσκορινθίου τετράδι καὶ εἰκάδι: year 148 on the 24th of a month; but the month name, standardly printed as Διὸς Κορινθίου, is impossible.
