Lost doxographic intermediaries behind Greek philosophical fragments

Research area: Split source route: Lost doxographic intermediaries behind Greek philosophical fragments

The broad draft gestures toward witness chains and doxography; those should be tested as a bounded intermediary-source route. Required sources: Presocratic fragments/testimonia sourcebook controls; Specialist doxography literature; Counterevidence on direct quotation versus later summary

Not evidence. This is a lower-level split route requiring source reading before any L4/L5 promotion.

Diels-Kranz testimonia controls for lost Presocratic writings

Research area: Split source route: Diels-Kranz testimonia controls for lost Presocratic writings

The broad Greek fragment draft should be split into source-control routes; Diels-Kranz style testimonia control is one bounded route. Required sources: Diels-Kranz numbering/control discussion; IEP Diels-Kranz entry as route context; Specialist sourcebook or edition control for Presocratic testimonia

Not evidence. This is a lower-level split route requiring source reading before any L4/L5 promotion.

Mullach fragment corpus route for lost Greek philosophical works

Research area: Split source route: Mullach fragment corpus route for lost Greek philosophical works

Mullach supports the presence of fragmentary residues but not one publishable missing object. Required sources: Mullach Fragmenta Philosophorum Graecorum volumes 1 and 2; Modern sourcebook or review controls for what Mullach can and cannot warrant

Not evidence. This is a lower-level split route requiring source reading before any L4/L5 promotion.

Draft lost-work article for the work cluster attributed to Marsyas of Philippi, with attribution uncertainty central.

Codex/subagent source reading found passage-level and reference-control warrant for a disputed lost-work cluster. Source title-prior route: route:2ced5ae45b941195c6fa0952e6f7a426e4e854a642529573.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Researching

Lost doxographic intermediaries behind Greek philosophical fragments

Research area: Split source route: Lost doxographic intermediaries behind Greek philosophical fragments

A source-reading candidate for possible doxographic intermediary layers behind preserved Greek philosophical fragments and reports.

The broad draft gestures toward witness chains and doxography; those should be tested as a bounded intermediary-source route.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Published_Beta

Johnson Papyrus illustrated herbal source tradition

Source-backed inferon for the fragmentary late-antique illustrated herbal/source tradition around the extant Johnson Papyrus.

The named papyrus title has No footnotes metadata and is categorized through manuscript-art and botany-book stubs, which is a concrete source-led manuscript/object gap visible from title and metadata alone. Source title-prior route: route:e079d473ef252b5e2a88d8d4a59a492e65d44621a4013fba.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Researching

Diels-Kranz testimonia controls for lost Presocratic writings

Research area: Split source route: Diels-Kranz testimonia controls for lost Presocratic writings

A source-reading candidate for the testimonia and fragment-control layer through which lost Presocratic writings are reconstructed.

The broad Greek fragment draft should be split into source-control routes; Diels-Kranz style testimonia control is one bounded route.

L2 Candidate Lost text Review_Needed

Apollodorus homonym and lost-source control cluster

Source-control inferon for homonymous Apollodorus entries and one plausible lost dream-interpretation source route.

The shard includes multiple Apollodorus entries marked by ancient-profession categories and DGRBM-style templates, suggesting a name-disambiguation and source-dependence problem among figures known mostly through later references. Source title-prior route: route:012bde3dc07f62e3cc9e0f5e490b06593c5fd1972aede2bf.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Published

Polyidus poet-sophist identity dossier inferon

Inferon for unresolved identity/source-control seam between Polyidus the dithyrambic poet and Polyidus the sophist notice.

The title is a disambiguated ancient figure and the metadata shows unknown birth/death years plus no-footnotes and stub templates, making this a plausible thin-attestation node around identity, works, and source transmission. Source title-prior route: route:8fe831232635c16b7dde953a6cfbbf659e70f81da3821dc2.

L2 Candidate Inferred practice Verified

Asclepius children healing-role comparison inferon

Inferon for Asclepius's children as a scattered healing-role comparison across myth, cult, and medical memory.

Several Greek health-deity and Asclepius-linked titles appear together with temple and medical-cult metadata. The title pattern suggests a comparison surface around divine children, healing roles, and cult sites that may be scattered across separate pages. Source title-prior route: route:1138e2119368c40072409f9d30e671dec3b2a8d1025df124.

L2 Candidate Lost text Researching

Mullach fragment corpus route for lost Greek philosophical works

Research area: Split source route: Mullach fragment corpus route for lost Greek philosophical works

A source-reading route using Mullach as bibliographic control for narrower lost Greek philosophical work candidates.

Mullach supports the presence of fragmentary residues but not one publishable missing object.

L2 Candidate Inferred source Published_Beta

Diophanes of Bithynia agronomic source-chain inferon

Inferon for Diophanes of Nicaea/Bithynia as the agronomic source node mediating the Mago and Cassius Dionysius tradition through a lost six-book epitome.

The paired Bithynian name variants indicate a historically specific ancient author or source figure likely dependent on later citation chains. Source title-prior route: route:f15eddf77eec1c55fa3b58acd0853ea05760303aefbade33.
