<x-rich>Some may find it worth their while to read the lengthy <italic>Bryn
Mawr Classical Review </italic>review of Glare's supplement to LSJ9 and
of Chadwick's <italic>Lexicographica Graeca</italic>. It's by Stephen
Colvin of Yale and makes fascinating reading; Evidently Chadwick is
calling for a radically new lexicographical project for Greek to be
done electronically and replace LSJ once and for all (Colvin thinks we
ought to be grateful for the new supplement by Glare). At any rate,
reading this underscores the extent to which all of us who read Greek
are at the mercy of fallible human beings, however extraordinary
lexicographical scholars they may be, who over the centuries have
provided us with the resources upon which we depend for accurate
information about the meanings of Greek words. The review may be
