In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Some of the items indexed occur in frequency or distribution that invite inference. Amaryllis, a figure drawn from idd. 3, 4, thus old bucolic, occurs as follows—ecll. 1, 2, 3, [8], [[9]], where square bracketing marks as relatively reduced the occurrences later in the book. By contrast Phyllis, a figure not drawn from idylls and thus neo-bucolic, occurs as follows—ecll. 3, [5], 7, 10. The nuanced tilt from an old bucolic figure toward a new one invites an inference of design unifying the book as a whole. Daphnis, the defining cowherd figure from old bucolic (idd. 1, 6, [7]) recurs as follows—ecll. {1}, [[2]], [[3]], 5, {6}, [7], [[8]], [[9]], {10}—where curly bracketing indicates merely implicit reference in three eclogues, with other occurrences variously explicit. However, for the formerly minor figure of Tityros (idd. [3], [[7]]), transformed into the defining cowherd for Roman bucolic, the occurrences are even more complex—ecll. 1 // [6]: [[3]], [[5]], {7}, [[[8]]], [[[9]]]. Explicitly this figure serves to inaugurate the two half books with their contrasting agendas: expansive (ecl. 1, overshadowing idd. 1, 3, 7) versus restrictive (ecl. 6, yet still far overshadowing singer Tityros, id. 7). Otherwise in reduced status, Tityrus marks generic continuity (ecll. [[3]], [[5]], [[[8]]], [[[9]]]), not far beyond the old subaltern Tityros (id. 3). Implicitly, moreover, the cycle of Meliboeus envisions the erstwhile exile drawn back down to the bucolic range by his stray billy goat, his tityros (ecl. {7}). • A analogy, Greek ana-, ‘upward’ and log-, leg-, ‘count,’ ‘pick,’ so used to describe reckoning, counting up, picking up on likeness (hence unlikeness too), see also eclogue, cognitive process, and priamel (basic bucolic reckoning by analogies) • 7–8, 15–17, 21, 23, 26, 29, 48, 52, 60, 62, 83, 90, 98, 102, 109, 117, 127, 135–36, 139, 140, 142, 147, 153, 158, 165, 168, 170–71, 175, 178, 180, 185– 86, 188, 190, 192, 194, 196, 199–201, 203–5, 212, 214, 218, 220, 222, 229, 236, 242, 249, 251, 253 —translation as a polemical species of • 7 Arcadia (ecll. 4 // 10) —as the location for a dying poet (ecl. 10), it replaces Sicily (id. 1), featuring too the Roman ‘shepherd ’ Gallus instead of the Sicilian ‘cowherd’ Daphnis • 10 —home to the god Pan, seen there (ecl. 10) rather than called to come from there to Sicily (id. 1) • 10–12, 14, 25, 27, 30, 33, 44, 50–51, 55, 58–59, 71–74, 90, 95, 102, 109–11, 125, 142–43, 146–48, 152–54, 158–59, 161–62, 165, 172, 182–83, 192–93, 195, 197, 199, 202, 204, 206–7, 209, 221, 224– 35, 237, 244–45 —place to challenge Pan (ecl. 4), see him present (ecl. 10) • 72, 230 —where Arethusa recites songs for Gallus (ecl. 10) before her flight to Sicily, thus a prequel to her mention in Theocritus (id. 1), see too the names • 72 —from which flows the river Alph after mingling with the river Eurotas (Callimachus, Pausanias), see also Arcadians, Arethusa, whom Alph tried to rape, provoking her flight to Sicily (ecl. 10 // id. 1) • 58, 72, 95, 109, 195, 226 —from which flows the river Eurotas (ecl. 6) after mingling with the river Alph (Callimachus, PauIndex 262 Index sanias), see also Arcadians, Arethusa, and characters unvoiced yet broadening: Eurotas • 58, 62, 72, 95, 98, 147, 161, 195–97 Arcadians (ecll. {6}, 7, 8, {9, Lycidas, since was represented as courted by Arcadian Thyrsis, ecll. 7}, 10), see also characters that broaden: Eurotas, Proeteus’ daughters • 11–12, 14, 30, 43, 50, 53, 55, 58–61, 63–64, 66–67, 70–72, 74, 88, 98–100, 102, 106, 109–11, 125–26, 128, 147–50, 152–54, 161, 184, 189, 195, 197, 199–202, 206, 209, 212–14, 218–19, 224, 226–32, 236, 244, 248 —added step by step in stages, progressively, not diffused Stimmung • 14 —appear first explicitly in book by Mantua’s river Mincius (ecl. 7), assigned names from prior texts: modest goatherd, Corydon (ecl. 2) and rambunctious shepherd, Thyrsis (id. 1), see too the names • 11 —Arethusa, see too the name -hailed (ecl. 10) at time and place (chronotope) previous to her role in Theocritus (id. 1), see also prequel • 73–74, 109–10 -her appeal to sister nymphs of springs to succor Gallus (ecl. 10) • 228 -her role rehearsing songs for Gallus played by an actress, even by Lycoris herself (ecl. 10) • 71, 73, 188 —Menalcas (ecll. 2, 3, 5, [9]) drafted...
