A fairly long, though incomplete, list of sacrifices for the festival of the Eleusinia from the Athenian State Calendar of the end of the fifth century B.C. is preserved in the inscription published in Hesperia 4 (1935), 21, column three, lines 60–86. The arrangement of items can best be illustrated by the beginning of the column in question:Throughout the State Calendar the scheme of entries is regularly the same:A few successive lines will illustrate this further:

Beautiful and brilliant, content and capable, skillful and successful, these and multiple other adjectives may be used to describe persons on a family tree of Eng-Chang, the original Siamese twins (Fig. 1). These men chose the State of North Carolina for homes, and are considered among its most renowned citizens. They had some of the above characteristics and their descendants shared others.Data upon six generations of Eng-Chang families — some verified by their 1836 pamphlets, others as recent as 1969 court records in their county residence — are shown in the following table:Fig. 2 shows second and third generations in family groups made in the summer of 1865. Nine of Eng's 11 children are shown; 2 had died young. Likewise, 9 of Chang's 10 children are seen; one was born in 1868, as certified by Edinburgh's famous Prof. James Y. Simpson (1869). Two sets of twins, not joined, are recorded in their descendants. Though some members on this family tree are difficult to certify, the data available in these six generations are by far the most comprehensive found. Chromosome and other genetic studies are being initiated and pursued in anatomy departments of American and Thai Medical Schools.

The Creation

The armed forces that Athens took into the Peloponnesian War had four distinct corps. The two that have been studied the most are the cavalry corps and the navy. The same level of focus is now paid to the hoplite corps. In contrast to these three branches, the archers continue to be largely unstudied. Indeed, the last dedicated study of this corps was published in 1913. This neglect of the archers by military historians is unjustified. The creation of the archer corps in the late 480sbcwas a significant military innovation. For the rest of the fifth century, Athens constantly deployed archers in a wide range of important combat roles. In the late 430s the state spent as much on them as it did on the cavalry.

The City

There are several buildings at Thessaloniki that can be dated to the middle or second half of the fifth century A.D. and which have one feature in common, namely, the characteristic brick stamps illustrated in Figs, 1a and b. Bricks bearing these stamps occur in the following buildings: Acheiropoietos, the first phase of St. Demetrius, the city walls, and the second phase of the Rotunda. The conventional date for the Acheiropoietos basilica is c. 470 and for the first phase of St. Demetrius some time between 450 and 500. The dates usually given to the walls and the Rotunda are c. 380/390, but I have recently shown that the walls ought to be dated to around the middle of the fifth century and that phase two of the Rotunda belongs with the fifth-century churches. I hope to demonstrate that the Byzantine palace was also built at about the same period.

In the first volume of my “Attempt to establish the First Principles of Chemistry by Experiment,” p. 442, I give the analysis of the sodium chloride of gold, and find the constituents to beBut I state at the same time, my uncertainty whether the gold in the salt was in the state of a chloride or muriate. This uncertainty raising a doubt, whether the peroxide of gold contained two or three atoms of oxygen, I thought it highly necessary to clear it up. In this paper, I shall state the experiments which I have made with that object in view.

With but two exceptions, no trace now remains of the shrines with which this paper deals, or at least no trace has been revealed by excavation. Practically the sole record of these buildings is to be found on the coins struck in the district during the period of the Roman Empire, and more especially during the third century of our era. The earlier coins, from the beginning of the coinage towards the end of the fifth century B.C., tell us something about the cults, but little of their furniture. But in the Roman age, especially during the time of the family of Severus and Elagabalus, there was a considerable outburst of coinage, which, in its types, reveals certain details interesting to the student of the fringe of Greek and Roman culture.The evidence thus provided is necessarily disjointed, and concerns only the external, official aspects of the Phoenician religion. The inner truth of these things, it is safe to say, is hidden for ever: even the development from the primitive religion to the weird syncretistic systems of the Roman age is hopelessly obscure. One can only see dimly what was the state of things during the period illustrated by the monuments.

Suppose that the state variables x = (x1,…,xn)′ where the dot refers to derivatives with respect to time t, and u ∊ U is a vector of controls. The object is to transfer x to x1 by choosing the controls so that the functional takes on its minimum value J(x) called the Bellman function (although we shall define it in a different way). The Dynamic Programming Principle leads to the maximisation with respect to u of and equality is obtained upon maximisation.

Let V be an infinite-dimensional real Hilbert space with associated C* Clifford algebra C[V]. To any state σ of the C* algebra C[V] there corresponds a skew-adjoint operator C of norm at most unity on V such thatwe refer to C as the covariance of the state σ.
