The scholarly trajectory that led to the non-existent term ?e?da???µ?? being recorded in the Liddell-Scott-Jones lexicon can be reconstructed.

The manuscript ascribing to Eratosthenes a procedure for finding semitones and quarter-tones cannot be used as evidence for reconstructing his elaborations in harmonic theory. 

Two crucial manuscripts on Greek harmonic theory, one in Munich and one in the Vatican, are shown to be parts of the same manuscript, whose early history can be partly reconstructed.

The corrupt sentence in which Diophantus describes the unknown (Arithm. 1.6) can be cured with a slight emendation that recognizes the wide and non-technical uses of ??????.

In Diophantus Arith. 5.30, the unique ??? as a plural “ones” is supported by the mss. and on comparison with “ones” in other mathematical writers can be construed as deriving from an adjective ????.

Paleographical and mathematical arguments establish that Chortasmenos’ invective against Diophantus for the difficulty of a problem refers not to problem 2.8, which triggered Fermat’s ‘last theorem’, but to the far more difficult 2.7.
