Thanks for your greeting and i wish you also the very best; your Christmas
is fading a lot faster than mine, I guess; we just finished a late
Christmas morning breakfast; my daughter is here visiting with us and we're
all together for the first time in a year.
I've checked the web and can't find the individual Philo titles, but I
recollect there was a title in the corpus of Philonian works that sounded
something like QUOD DETERIOR SERVUS SIT MELIORI--I'd guess it has something
to do with Jacob and Esau or the like, since almost all of the Philonian
treatises have something to do with Genesis themes. I know that title isn't
accurate; I have a complete Philonian text at the office, but I won't go
over there before Monday. I'll try to remember to check again and get back
to you, but by then you'll probably have it figured out.
Best regards, Carl
