items to be discovered, perhaps principally late in the alphabet, or from the early Byzantine
period (330– 650 ), or among the papyri. It is therefore almost certain, although no less
regrettable, that we have omitted some names. If the fates are kind and scholars diligent, we
hope to include them in a revised edition.
