Review Quotes:
'Contrary to what is sometimes excessively used in tribute works, the collection of contributions in this volume was very well directed thematically and the resulting articles are, for the most part, innovative and relevant in the field of documentary heuristics covered.' - Martim Aires Horta (2023): Cadmo - Revista de História Antiga
'The volume is produced to a high standard. ... The substance and quality of each contribution is consistently high. This collection of essays is a fitting tribute to its honorand and a fascinating cross-section of work currently being undertaken by Greek historians and epigraphers across the discipline's various sub-fields.' - Thomas Clements (2025): The Classical Review
