The Suda Classics message for February (yes, I know it's not February) is a new annotated translation by Robert Dyer of the entry for the city/citadel of Akę (Ake^) in Phoenicia, Alpha 858 (Adler). I'll include the translation, and ask you to look up the URI below to read the notes. Headword: Akę Adler number: alpha,858 Translated headword: not given Translation: A city in Phoenicia, (a name)[1] which some say[2] the city now called Ptolemais was called in ancient times, but Demetrios (sc. Scepsius) says was not the city but the acropolis. http://www.stoa.org/sol-cgi-bin/search.pl?searchstr=alpha,858 This draft translation features an example of Suda's crosslinking technologies, providing a hypercitation to the Brown Scholarly Technology Group's Bible Browser, specifically a relevant passage in Acts 21. If you'd like to volunteer your services as an editor (vetting completed entries like the above for possible improvements), please contact the SOL Managing Committee at the address below, or register at our web site at http://www.stoa.org/sol/ . There might be other resources available on the Web you can suggest be added to the Akę lemma. There are plenty of other lemmata waiting to be translated, too; tens of thousands. Perhaps you'd like to translate the Souda's account of the story of Gyges (gamma,472), or have some suggestions for annotation of the lemma on the Kadmeia (kappa,15); maybe Augustus (alpha,4413) - yes, that's right, there's stuff in the Suda for the Romans, too; or kappa,27, Kain, ho tou Abel adelphos (Abel's entry has already been done). If you are interested in volunteering as either a translator or an editor, please register at the SOL website, http://www.stoa.org/sol/. If you're not on one of the mailing lists to which we're distributing Suda Classics, and would like to receive future mailings, please sign up for the Suda mailing list at http://lsv.uky.edu/cgi-bin/wa.exe?SUBED1=suda&A=1 .
