| Title: Polybius on « seeing » and « hearing » : 12.27 Secondary Title: Classical Quarterly Volume: 55 (2) Pages: 627-629 Type: Journal Article Year: 2005 Abstract: ? ?????????????? at Polybius 12, 27, 6 refers to all the historian's activities in research. But it is prescriptive rather than descriptive (hence ??????????). History-writing can be divided into that requiring effort, including both autopsy and interrogating witnesses, and that which does not. The former is ???????? ... ????? ??? ????????. The subject of the second half of the sentence at 12, 27, 6 is not ? ?????????????? as a whole, but only the type of ?????????????? that conforms to the conditions set out in the first part of the sentence. |
