Within this final section, four main aspects are identified: the Correspondence 3.1: as a resource for exegetical and textual-critical insights; 3.2: as a seminar per litteras ; 3.3: as documentation on Sebastiano Timpanaro and Scevola Mariotti; 3.4: as a book to be read in its entirety.

Abstract Etymologicum Magnum s. v . κεραννύς (= 504, 25-35 Gaisford) attributes to a certain Pisander some information concerning the ancient custom of drinking horns. This notice is not included in the collection of fragments of either of the two Pisanders known from antiquity, Pisander of Camirus and Pisander of Laranda. The structure and sources of the gloss are analyzed, with a reflection on the possible identification of the Pisander mentioned here with one of his two namesakes.
