Phrynichos beim Gewährsmann und beim Abschreiber Ammians
Phrynichos and the informant and copyist of Ammianus
Author(s): Francis X. RyanSubject(s): History
Published by: Studia Humaniora Tartuensia
Keywords: Phrynichos; Ammianus; chronology
Summary/Abstract: The article examines and finds wanting a recent thesis according to which a source used by Ammianus Marcellinus knew that Phrynichos produced his play on the sack of Miletos only after Athens had been sacked; then it proceeds to ask whether the chronological information vainly sought in the source of Ammianus has been preserved from another source by a copyist of Ammianus.
