Last week we left off on about page 19 of the Usener PDF, after the quote from Cicero's On Divination, so this week we will start with the quote from Aelius Theon:
- On The Language and Style of Epicurus
- Aelius Theon (fl. probably around 75 AD) wrote “Preliminary Exercises” (Progymnasmata), a training manual for orators
Tonight we will continue in the "On The Language and Style of Epicurus," starting with the quote from Aelius Theon (approximately page 19 of the PDF) and cotinuing as far as we can get to the end of this section, which will then take us up to The "Catalogue of Fragments" / Table of Contents.
We will be going through Usener's Epicurea and generally be referring to the PDF that Bryan has been working on which is here:

RE: April 3, 2024 - Wednesday Night Zoom Agenda - Studying Usener's Epicurea
I'll throw in this updated version of my notes. It may still be preferable to mostly follow Erik Anderson's text. Let me know if you see any errors.
