Yes. I studied classical Greek, but alas we had no specialist in the Ionian dialect.
-JKP - that's a fine example of interlinear. I'm still hoping that someone will take seriously the idea that we would learn something useful by compiling statistical tables of comparative letter forms from the Latin- Greek-and Aramaic traditions.
In general, it has been an enormous pleasure to see, just these last eighteen months, that the pre-Christian Hellenistic world is also becoming such a focus of interest.
What I do sometimes hope to see is a wider horizon than Latin Europe, and a wider range of manuscripts considered than the Carollingian Latin Christian. I daresay it will happen in time.
