By the way, for those who may not immediately recognize it, the
unnamed "scribe" (a curious term in this context) who "declares"
his age-specific interests "in a text highlighted on a wall" is
the Greek epigrammatist Straton or in Latin form Strato of
Sardis, at Anthologia Palatina (a. k. a. "Greek Anthology") 12.4.
