It works for me.

Me as the one who is motivated by cheese.

I don't have a dog.

"Burned everyone who bought"

Serious question-- who buys this stuff? Really

Not quite within her lifetime, but here is Isotta Nogarola (d. 1466) among the women depicted in Foresti's 1497 De plurimis claris selectisque mulieribus.

Interesting! Because of danger to the child, or a sense that it's inappropriate to be on the equipment without permission? (Or both? Or something else?)

Same! But that opinion is not widely shared within my marriage.

And we're not even a full year in.

It's the edition of W. Heraeus: archive.org/details/silv...

I expect that this is what life will be like from here on out.

Yeah.

Another complication is that Egeria survives in a single ms.

Thanks for the heads up!

Yeah, it would be easy enough for each of those final vowels to have a stroke over them.

Also, the whole of Fronto ad M. Caes. 1.4 is pretty good in this regard. (Marcus Aurelius has copied out one of Fronto's speeches in his own hand, and Fronto takes the opportunity to provide some thoughts on script v. content)

Maybe this is earlier than you have in mind, but Fronto borrows a copy of Ennius's "Sota" from Marcus Aurelius, and then sends him back a copy in "littera festiviore" (ad M. Caes. 4.2.6)

It's here! (But he doesn't comment on the phrase, unless I missed it) archive.org/details/phil...

Call me Ahab.
