Synopsis

LLM-authored synopsis Not an article

For Greek textual transmission, the useful unit is the witness network, not a flat catalogue. Abydenus' lost Assyrian-Chaldaean history gives a published edge; Reconstructed contents of Hipparchus's lost star catalogue keeps the unfinished catalogue and source-route side visible.

Abydenus' lost Assyrian-Chaldaean history has Quotient 39/100, existence warrant 82, and direct attestation 65. Diels-Kranz testimonia controls for lost Presocratic writings belongs to transmission context, so the synthesis stays bounded to routes and survivals already gathered here.
