Description
The thirty-third seating of the originals shelf, five seats, song and silence: Tacitus whole in Latin (Furneaux; Fisher), seated for Histories 5.13, the undated portents before the siege of Jerusalem read beside Josephus and the Apocalypse in #1737; and the melic poets whole: Pindar's odes (Sandys) and Bacchylides (Jebb) from the Perseus TEI; Bergk's Poetae Lyrici Graeci III (1882), the melic fragments from Alcman, Sappho and Alcaeus to Stesichorus, Ibycus, Anacreon, Simonides, Corinna, Telesilla, Praxilla, Timotheus, the scolia and the Carmina popularia, OCR'd in session and divided at its running heads; and Edmonds's Lyra Graeca I (1922) for the papyri of Sappho and Alcaeus published after 1882, held with a statement of its term outside the United States. With fragment 31 (EA-CORPORA-01/10) and the papyri panel (01/11), all of Sappho the public domain carries.

EA-CORPORA-33 — The Thirty-Third Seating: Song and Silence — Tacitus, and Sappho Whole with the Melic Poets (Pindar, Bacchylides, Bergk's Poetae Melici, Edmonds's Lyra Graeca I)
EA-CORPORA-33 — The Thirty-Third Seating
The author asked for the seating on 2026-11-04: "and I suppose we should seat tacitus"; "we currently have only sappho 31 i believe. we need all sappho and all the melic poets. what an oversight. they can go together with tacitus, song and silence at one seat"; "corinna definitely... im not familiar with telesilla or the carmina popularia but yet lets seat the". The standing authority on the EA-CORPORA deposits is Rebekah Cranes, by the author's ruling of the same day ("i feel that probably rebekah cranes should be the standing authority on the ea-corpora deposits").
Five seats. Tacitus is seated whole in Latin for Histories 5.13, the undated account of the portents before the siege of Jerusalem that The Portents Before the Fall (#1737) sets beside Josephus and the Apocalypse. The melic poets come in four: Pindar's four books of odes and Bacchylides's epinicians and dithyrambs from the Perseus TEI; the fragments of the rest in Bergk's Poetae Lyrici Graeci III (1882), the last complete nineteenth-century collection, public domain everywhere, divided at its running heads into thirty-five sections from Alcman and Sappho to Corinna, Telesilla, the scolia and the Carmina popularia; and Edmonds's Lyra Graeca I (1922), which prints the papyri of Sappho and Alcaeus from Oxyrhynchus published after Bergk's last edition. With the seated fragment 31 (01/10) and the papyri panel (01/11), Sappho stands whole as far as the public domain reaches.
Bergk and Edmonds were OCR'd in session from the Archive's PDFs, page by page at 300 dpi: the Archive's own OCR layer reads the Greek as Latin. Edmonds is public domain in the United States and remains in copyright where the term is the author's life plus seventy years (he died in 1958); the seat holds it with that statement, at the author's word ("yes, lets seat it with the statement").

- Scope: The five works entire in the Perseus TEI: the Agricola, Germania and Dialogus, the surviving books of the Histories (I–V.26) and of the Annals (I–VI, XI–XVI).

- Licence: The melic poets are public domain. Bergk's Poetae Lyrici Graeci, 4th edition, vol. III (Leipzig: Teubner, 1882) is public domain everywhere; Bergk died in 1881. The Archive marks the scan's source (Toronto) as public domain. The OCR was made in session and is released with this seat record.
- Verified locus: Sappho 1 (Bergk), the hymn to Aphrodite: its first word — 'Ποικιλόϑρον᾽, ἀϑάνατ᾽' (the page reads Ἀφρόδιτα after it; the OCR reads Aqpódua)
- Verified locus: Sappho 2 (Bergk; 31 in later numbering), the opening line — 'Φαίνεταί μοι κῆνος ἴσος ϑέοισιν'
- Verified locus: Alcman, the Louvre Partheneion: there is a vengeance of the gods — 'ἔστι τις σιῶν τίσις'
- Verified locus: Corinna, the rebuke of Myrtis — 'Μέμφομη δὲ κὴ λιγουρὰν Μουρτίδ᾽ ἰώνγα'
- Verified locus: Telesilla, the section's running head — 'TELESILLA. 381'
- Verified locus: Carmina popularia, the Rhodian swallow song — 'ἦλϑε χελιδών'
- Lines: 41,729 in 35 text files (35 works)
- Normalization: The Archive's own OCR layer of this volume reads the Greek as Latin and is not used. The PDF named in origin.items was rasterized page by page at 300 dpi (pdftoppm -r 300 -gray) and each page OCR'd in session; the OCR is kept as made, line endings normalized, one '=== p<N> ===' line before each PDF page. No text was corrected by hand; the loci keep the OCR's readings and say where those differ from the printed page. The volume is divided into works at its running heads (rebuild/corpora/ea-corpora-33/split_bergk33.py), corrected by reading the boundary pages; a page carrying the end of one section and the start of the next goes with the later. Bergk's Greek is printed with his Latin apparatus beneath; the OCR keeps both.
- Scope: The volume entire in session OCR, 764 PDF pages, divided at its running heads into 35 sections: Eumelus, Terpander, Alcman, Arion, Sappho, Erinna, Alcaeus, the sages' songs, Stesichorus, Ibycus, Anacreon with the Anacreontea, Lasus, Telesilla, Simonides, Timocreon, Corinna, Lamprocles, Pratinas, Diagoras, Praxilla, the Bacchylides fragments, Melanippides, Licymnius, Philoxenus, Timotheus, Telestes, Castorio, Hermodotus, the scolia, the carmina popularia and the fragmenta adespota, with the index. Pindar is in Bergk's vol. I and seated from Perseus (33/02); the papyri published after 1882 are in Edmonds (33/05) and the papyri panel (01/11).
- Cross-references: sappho (EA-CORPORA-01/10); papyri (01/11); lyra-graeca-edmonds-i (33/05); pindar (33/02); bacchylides (33/03); theocritus (01/03)
- Research: seated for the study The Portents Before the Fall: Josephus, Tacitus and the Apocalypse (#1737) and the Sappho line (Sappho 31, the reception operator of #1494–#1495) (rebuild/corpora/ea-corpora-33/NOTE.md; drafts/THREE-WITNESSES-PORTENTS-draft-2026-11-04.md), the operator's requests of 2026-11-04; for the melic canon, requested whole, with Corinna, Telesilla and the Carmina popularia named
- Why seated: The operator asked for all of Sappho and all the melic poets, seated with Tacitus: song and silence. Bergk's fourth edition is the last complete nineteenth-century collection of the melic fragments, public domain everywhere, in Greek with its Latin apparatus.

- Licence: Sappho and Alcaeus are public domain. J. M. Edmonds, Lyra Graeca I (London: Heinemann; New York: Putnam, Loeb Classical Library, 1922) is public domain in the United States (published before 1929); Edmonds died in 1958, so in jurisdictions with a term of the author's life plus seventy years the edition's own text, translation and notes remain protected until the end of 2028. The seat holds it with that statement, at the operator's word of 2026-11-04, for the papyri published after 1882 that Bergk cannot carry. The Archive marks the item NOT_IN_COPYRIGHT. The OCR was made in session.
- Verified locus: the Life of Sappho, the section's opening — 'LIFE OF SAPPHO'
- Verified locus: Sappho 31 (Edmonds's numbering differs): the opening line — 'Φαίνεταί μοι κῆνος ἴσος θέοισιν'
- Verified locus: a Sappho papyrus from Oxyrhynchus, P.Oxy. 1231, cited for the text — 'with Ox. Pap. 1231. 16 (see 15 below)' (the page abbreviates Ox. Pap.)

- Verified locus: Alcaeus, the ship of state: the bilge — 'ἄντλην, ἐπεί κε νᾶος ἔββᾳ'
- Lines: 24,363 in 8 text files (8 works)
- Normalization: The Archive's own OCR layer of this volume reads the Greek as Latin and is not used. The PDF named in origin.items was rasterized page by page at 300 dpi (pdftoppm -r 300 -gray) and each page OCR'd in session; the OCR is kept as made, line endings normalized, one '=== p<N> ===' line before each PDF page. No text was corrected by hand; the loci keep the OCR's readings and say where those differ from the printed page.
- Scope: The volume entire in session OCR, divided by its sections. Edmonds prints the Greek with facing English, and he prints the papyri of Sappho and Alcaeus from Oxyrhynchus published after Bergk's last edition (1882); the seat is held for those, for the operator's "all sappho".
- Cross-references: sappho (EA-CORPORA-01/10, fragment 31, the diplomatic layer); papyri (01/11, the Sappho circle in DCLP); poetae-melici-bergk (33/04)
- Research: seated for the study The Portents Before the Fall: Josephus, Tacitus and the Apocalypse (#1737) and the Sappho line (Sappho 31, the reception operator of #1494–#1495) (rebuild/corpora/ea-corpora-33/NOTE.md; drafts/THREE-WITNESSES-PORTENTS-draft-2026-11-04.md), the operator's requests of 2026-11-04; for the Sappho line (31 and the reception operator, #1494–#1495) and Sappho requested whole
- Why seated: Sappho is seated at one fragment (EA-CORPORA-01/10) and in the papyri panel (01/11); the operator asked for all of her. Bergk's Poetae Lyrici Graeci III (33/04) gives the fragments as known in 1882; Edmonds gives the twentieth-century papyri beside them.

Every seat was fetched in session and hashed into its MANIFEST.sha256, with a source.json recording edition, origin, licence, normalization, the loci verified in the text layer, and the research the seat was made for. The builders are under rebuild/corpora/ea-corpora-33/: gen_spec33.py writes the specs, build33.py (the thirty-second seating's builder with a pdf_ocr kind added) builds each seat, split_bergk33.py prints the running-head division of Bergk, index_seats33.py enters the seats in the corpora index, and this body is written by body33.py. The OCR engine, models and their sha256 are recorded in each seat's origin.
