For me, this is what #fragmentology is all about. So much information can be gleaned from a multi-faceted approach to researching a single fragment. It’s impossible to pose too many questions.

Nice! I wish this 15thC fragment of Book III (on a sammelband of Aldine Ciceros) had been as legible! It took me a while (and MSI) to figure it out. archive.org/details/vir....
