Euclid of Alexandria
Born: about 365 BC in Alexandria, Egypt
Died: about 300 BC
Euclid is the most prominent mathematician of antiquity best known for his treatise on geometry The Elements . The long lasting nature ofThe Elements must make Euclid the leading mathematics teacher of all time. Little is known of Euclid's life except that he taught at Alexandria in Egypt. Euclid's most famous work is his treatise on geometry The Elements . The book was a compilation of geometrical knowledge that became the centre of mathematical teaching for 2000 years. Probably no results in The Elements were first proved by Euclid but the organisation of the material and its exposition are certainly due to him. The Elements begins with definitions and axioms, including the famous fifth, or parallel, postulate that one and only one line can be drawn through a point parallel to a given line. Euclid's decision to make this an axiom led to Euclidean geometry. It was not until the 19th century that this axiom was dropped and non-euclidean geometries were studied. Zeno of Sidon, about 250 years after Euclid wrote the

Papyri of Rhetoric IIa
The second book of Philodemus' treatise On Rhetoric survives in two copies, here labelled 'IIa' and 'IIb'. Copy IIa is preserved in a roll whose last portion ('midollo' or 'marrow', the last, interior windings of the roll), PHerc. 1674, consists of 12 'fragments' and 58 continuous columns of text. At the end of this roll is a notice giving the title, the generic indication 'hypomnematikon', and the number of lines (at least 4,200). The last ten columns of this roll overlap with the first eight of PHerc. 1672, which is labelled as book 2 of Philodemus' On Rhetoric . Thus, 1674 is another copy of the same book as 1672, only the latter's text continues for another 32 columns before reaching the end of the book. Apparently, the copy in PHerc. 1674 ran over onto a second papyrus roll, which does not survive, while the copy in PHerc. 1672, which is more compactly written, was made to fit onto one papyrus roll. Several other pieces ( scorze or 'bark') of the roll whose end is the midollo PHerc.

Dear Elias, First of all, I'd like to state that this discussion in no way should or will change our friendship status. I believe we both want to work for the good of our nation and our people; we just have differing opinions on how to do it. Now, you might have given up on me, but I still have not given up on you and would really like to continue this discussion. Now, having said all that, I would like to respond to your last comment. In your previous statement you claimed that you are not failing to distinguish between the state and the nation, and in your last comment you said that you do agree on Saadeh's definition of a nation. In that case, you would be obliged to agree that, according to Saadeh's definition of a nation, Syria never had to be controlled by a single government to be considered a nation, and Cyprus never had to be politically united with Syria for it to be considered a part of the Syrian nation. This is not to say that Syria, the way Saadeh drew it, was never politically united, for it was, under the Assyrian Empire. It also was later united, with Cyprus, under the Umayyad Caliphate. Therefore, I still do not understand why you continue to repeat the same question. From your comment I also deducted that you agree with me on the fact that Cyprus was a Phoenician island; we just disagree on whether or not we can consider it a part of Syria. If you remember, in my last article I stated that after having established the fact that the Cypriots were historically Phoenicians, we would have to ask the question: Were the Phoenicians Syrians?

Although the Epicureans, with the importance they gave to friendship, emphasized community life more than other philosophers at this time, nonetheless one can also find some stoic groups, as well as Stoic or Stoico-Cynic philosophers who acted as moral and political advisors to various circles and aristocratic clubs. For example, Musonius Rufus was spiritual advisor to Nero's cousin, Rubellius Plautus, and his circle; and the Stoico-Cynic philosopher Demetrius was advisor to a liberal anti-aristocratic group around Thrasea Paetus. Thrasea Paetus, a roman senator, committed suicide after being condemned to death by the senate during Nero's reign. And Demetrius was the régisseur, I would say, of his suicide. So besides the community life of the Epicureans there are other intermediate forms.
There is also the very interesting case of Epictetus. Epictetus was a Stoic for whom the practice of speaking openly and frankly was also very important. He directed a school about which we know a few things from the four surviving volumes of Epictetus' Discourses as recorded by Arrian. We know, for example, that Epictetus' school was located at Nicopolis in a permanent structure which enabled students to share in a real community life. Public lectures and teaching sessions were given where the public was invited, and where individuals could ask questionsalthough sometimes such individuals were mocked and twitted by the masters. We also know that Epictetus conducted both public conversations and interviews. His school was a kind of école normale for those who wanted to become philosophers or moral advisors.

could the New Testament letters be such?
(Rewritten: Oct 2002) Part Two : Post-Easter Data and Discussion In modern discussions about the teachings and history of the New Testament, the issue of pseudonymity (i.e. "false(ly) named") generally comes up. This term refers to the position of some NT scholars that the stated authors of some of the NT epistles are not the actual authors of those documentsthat someone other than Paul wrote an epistle which claims it was written by Paul, or that someone other than Peter wrote an epistle which claims it was written by Peter. The term 'pseudepigraphy' (lower case p) is somewhat related: its narrow meaning refers to pseudonymous writings (i.e., writings which state the author to be someone else than the actual author). The term 'Pseudepigraphy' (capital P)a much 'looser term' refers to a collection of books not included in the canons of the Hebrew or Christian bibles. Most of these books (in the pre-NT writings) are actually anonymous (making no explicit claim to authorship), but were either (a) later attributed to someone other than the actual author; or (b)

Early inhabitants of Lebanon were Phoenicians who were also known as Canaanites.
The Phoenicians worshipped Baal and Astarte.
Phoenicians were seafarers and traders. They used the North Star as a point of reference for navigation.
The Phoenicians were famous for producing glass, purple dye and cedar wood.
Purple dye was very expensive as it took many shellfish (the murex) to produce a small amount of dye.
The Phoenicians colonised the Aegean Islands, Cyprus , Rhodes, Sardinia and Carthage (North Africa).
It is known that the Phoenicians traded as far away as Spain.
Phoenician cities included Baalbek, Byblos, Sidon and Tyre.
Byblos is thought to be the world's oldest inhabited city.

Euclid of Alexandria is the most prominent mathematician of antiquity best known for his treatise on mathematics The Elements . The long lasting nature of The Elements must make Euclid the leading mathematics teacher of all time. However little is known of Euclid's life except that he taught at Alexandria in Egypt. Proclus, the last major Greek philosopher, who lived around 450 AD wrote (see [1] or [9] or many other sources):- Not much younger than these pupils of Plato] is Euclid, who put together the "Elements", arranging in order many of Eudoxus 's theorems, perfecting many of Theaetetus 's, and also bringing to irrefutable demonstration the things which had been only loosely proved by his predecessors. This man lived in the time of the first Ptolemy; for Archimedes , who followed closely upon the first Ptolemy makes mention of Euclid, and further they say that Ptolemy once asked him if there were a shorted way to study geometry than the Elements, to which he replied that there was no royal road to geometry. He is therefore younger than Plato 's circle, but older than

you , who fit neither of them, who under the democracy were the most violent hater of the people-and who under the oligarchy have become equally violent as a hater of oligarchical merit? I am, and always have been, Critias, an enemy both to extreme democracy and to oligarchical tyranny. I desire to constitute our political community out of those who can serve it on horseback and with / 70 / heavy armor;-I have proposed this once, and I still stand to it. I side neither with democracy nor despots, to the exclusion of the dignified citizens. Prove that I am now, or ever have been, guilty of such crime, and I shall confess myself deserving of ignominious death." Where was Socrates through all this? There can be little doubt that he was very intimate with the oligarchical leaders, many of whom he had instructed in the notion that only the good and the wise and the true should rule; that government was not an art that could be picked up at random by the "man in the street," but depended on "knowledge, knowledge of ultimate principles of the "good" and the "just,"-knowledge which could only be gained by study and a painful askesis Neither Socrates nor, for that matter, Plato made any at. tempt to conceal their criticisms of Athenian democracy, its de-/ 71 / pendence (as they thought) on the whim of the multitude and the caprice of the lot;" nor did they conceal their preference for Sparta's more aristocratic, oligarchic and servile organization of society." Moreover the essence of Socrates' teaching was, as we have seen, profoundly anti-democratic, striking at the very theoretical roots on which the democratic way of life (even in a slave-owning democracy) was founded. It is only when the logic of political struggle produces a Critias, that such men as Theramenes and Socrates draw back in virtuous horror. However much we may excuse Socrates from any responsibility or sanction of the actual violence committed, we must nevertheless realize that the instinct of the democracy was profoundly right when it saw in him the evil genius behind the scene; the
