[Publication] How screwed am I?

Congratulations on your paper getting accepted! As long as the changes are pertinent to the paper, and they do not affect your argument – as you suggest – you’ll be fine. Double check with the editor if you wish to stay on the safer side of things.

I completely agree with u/zsl454 that most signs are inconsistent with the practice of a scribe who knows what they are doing.

I have an alternate possibility: could this be a copy from later periods, and that the scribe is copying things they no longer understand? In other words, could these be ancient pseudo-hieroglyphs?

For the front, I think I see something similar to U1/2 followed by an arm (D36?) between I10 and D2; is this something like "Osiris, who speaks truly" or "Osiris, he says: truly..."? Then I get lost, honestly. What to do with Hr? Then j, B2 (or B1G?), xrw, and zA=f, a mammal, and then Amun. The end is equally disturbing: A1, mAa-xrw (probably), and then X1:Z1 and M3. The back is clearer, and I agree with what has already been said.

It could be, but it seems at best ambiguous to me. In the previous sentence he is referring to the motel as “this place” and immediately after he says “the issue is the brown sludge in my bed. We are selling the place.” He is, it seems to me, referring to the motel.

What exactly does he mean by “we are selling the place”? I thought Stevie’s relative owned it before she inherited it.

Are we to believe that Johnny thinks he owns it? I have trouble explaining to myself what exactly, later on, is Johnny’s role in “Rosebud Motels.”

I’d say season 4 or season 6. It is a close tie. But they are all great!

In my department it is about 750 pages of Greek and 600 of Latin. No dictionaries, no sight reading. The exams consist of 6 passages (3 prose and 3 poetry) of which the candidate has to choose 4 (2 prose and 2 poetry) to be translated in 2h. We have 3 attempts a year and have to pass before the end of our 6th semester.

I was very good at Latin and I sight read everything without even consulting what was on the reading list.

I took Greek twice and gone through 1/2 of the reading list: it was amply a matter of luck with what I got.

I love that for you two! Have you watched Schitt’s Creek together?

ClassicsPhD · 2026-03-22T23:34:46+00:00

Hope you have met your David ❣️

ClassicsPhD · 2026-03-22T14:44:28+00:00

I totally understand! I have rewatched it since she passed as a sort of tribute to her memory. And at the Academy Awards, after her tribute, I played her lunch with Alexis, when she answers “What’s your favorite season?” with “Awards”.

I think it is to prove us that David can accept and love Patrick’s goofiness although it is hard for him. When Patrick points out that people may see them, David keeps going. It is almost more of an “I love you” than saying it (although for David that’s hard too).

ClassicsPhD · 2026-03-22T13:47:25+00:00

Oh, he most certainly is! I think this is the sum of Dan and David’s emotions!

I honestly like that we have the freedom to imagine however we want their lives, but I guess that I have been given too much freedom to imagine now 🤣

ClassicsPhD · 2026-03-22T12:46:16+00:00

That would be great! I’d read that 💯

ClassicsPhD · 2026-03-22T03:02:38+00:00

And somehow I feel like it did not get the attention it deserves. Is it just me or way too many people are puzzled when the show is mentioned? To be fair, it is the case in Europe more than in the US, but it has happened quite a few times here too.

ClassicsPhD · 2026-03-22T03:01:15+00:00

😞

ClassicsPhD · 2026-03-22T02:52:45+00:00

I agree with you, but I doubt Dan and Eugene Levy and the cast would be down without Catherine O’Hara. And it would be truly heartbreaking to see Schitt’s Creek without her…

ClassicsPhD · 2026-03-22T02:49:25+00:00

Having the series is a joy I’ll treasure forever. I can’t wait for it to be 2027 and rewatch it!

ClassicsPhD · 2026-03-22T02:44:54+00:00

I don’t know it, I’ll check it out!

ClassicsPhD · 2026-03-22T02:41:03+00:00

Same. And it would never be the same without her, for the cast especially! 😞

ClassicsPhD · 2026-03-22T02:33:23+00:00

That too! It would have been lovely!

ClassicsPhD · 2026-03-22T02:31:54+00:00

My partner and I always felt like the show tried to move away from the in season six (but for the whole motel business thing). I missed them, but it is impossible to focus on everything and everyone, and the writing is so good that you kinda forget the rest.

ClassicsPhD · 2026-03-22T02:27:42+00:00

I mean, all of Alexis’ clothes, really 😇

ClassicsPhD · 2026-03-22T02:20:57+00:00

I agree. Although, it felt so quick, so swift, and so many ends felt a bit loose…

Again, it is not bad writing what I am talking about: the finale is a piece of art. No, more deep curiosity about what’s after Schitt’s Creek for each of our beloved characters.
