You got it *almost* right. Taormina, where I lived 1958-68, was part of MG in strict sense (Greek colonies founded in Southern Italy from 8th century BC onward. Neapolis ("new city") was founded later by settlers from Cumae 6th c. BC. Culturally and linguistically, it was certainly a Greek city.

it could be a sensible position, though I would qualify a lot: it has more to do with abstraction and real hypostatisation.

I am delighted you send me the happy birthday 27 days before the actual event, which has been eclipsed by the fact that on that date I married. And happy that at least my fan club has reached the number 3 or 4. Who's that guy? I imagine that's the one I have to ask his wondeful written presentation.

I have followed yesterday evening the discussion at #UMass about the new translation of #Marx 's #CapitalBookI. I found it disappointing for many reasons on which I cannot elaborate on now. On somehow a separate note, a theoretical/political discussion about alternative translations could be good.
