Eunapius of Sardis and a Latin Source : Can it Be Excluded that in his Histories he Drew upon One?
Original language description
The paper attempts to prove that Eunapius of Sardis may in his Histories have drawn upon a Latin source. Evidence to this effect consists of traces left by difficulties in rendering original Latin, remnants of influence of western concepts, and intrusion of Latin terminology. Further observations are based on occurrence of Westerners and allusions to the motifs known from Roman literature. Special attention is paid to the 'antimonarchical excursus' in Zos. 1.5.2-4 and the opening sentence of the Epitome de Caesaribus. Finally, Alan Cameron's rebuttal of the very possibility that any influence of a western source could be perceived in the Eunapian tradition is refuted.
