Among the hundreds of minute fragments from the codex of Numbers and Deuteronomy (Chester Beatty Biblical Papyrus VI) are several from the codex of Gospels and Acts, easily dis tinguishable by their characteristic small sloping script. Some are clearly of no value, for example a small slip containing the single word sutev, the other side being blank. Another contains the beginnings of four lines, but only the first letter of each, a[, x[, [i[, e[. There are, however, three rather more substantial fragments, here denominated A, B and C. The first comes from the Gospel of Matthew, and in fact joins on to the earliest published fragment of the Gospel. It does not therefore add anything to our knowledge, but is included here for the sake of completeness.

The standard modern position holds that Polybius did not know, and owed nothing to Herodotus. This position is challenged. It is suggested that some Herodotean elements have filtered their way into Polybius. Particularly in geographical matters, Polybius seems to inhabit the same thought-world as Herodotus. Polybius' description of the Euphrates (9.43) seems to engage directly with Herodotus' account of the Nile and challenge Herodotean views on the Euphrates. Certain other Herodotean scenes and sentiments have silently infiltrated Polybius' account.

Reger, Regionalism and Change in the Economy of Independent Delos [Berkeley, 1994]); and Tenos, to which N. devotes a chapter, is now the subject of a major work by R. Etienne (Tenos II. Tenos et les Cyclades du milieu du IVe siecle av. J.C. au milieu du Hie siecle apres J.C. [Paris, 1990]), published when N.'s work was already in press. N.'s evidence comes mostly from insci ptions, which he handles with a specialist's touch. In his picture the Cyclades broadly follow the political and social evolution of the later Greek polis as adumbrated by A. H. M. Jones, L. Robert, Ph. Gauthier, and others. Democracies in theory as late as the third century A.D., the Cycladic poleis saw executive magistrates acquire a larger say in legislation in the Hellenistic age and, from the second century B.C. on, the emergence of regimes of benefactorpoliticians; the changed civic mentality is summed up on third-century A.D. Paros, where the city oleaginously claims to be 'receiving rather than conferring the honour' in setting up statues for worthies (/G 12, 5, 292 and 328). The bridge-like position of the Cyclades in this period emerges in the Asian and mainland Greek marriages and office-holding of leading island-families like the Flavii of Thera, who even produced a Severan cos. suff. Once-wealthy Siphnos, by contrast, complained in its sole imperial-period decree to survive that it had lost 'all its finest and most distinguished citizens' (IG 12, 5, 509). N. rounds off his picture by arguing from 'servile' nomenclature that from A.D. 150 on more men of low birth are detectable in the curial orders of the Cycladic towns—although whether mobility and replenishment of this kind indicate decay (as N. seems to imply) or dynamism in the social structure is a moot point.
