And, in progress, a different (more recent) translation of Athenaeus. Like pulling teeth, unfortunately: a huge work.

concerning your last post, have you found anyone to help you/take over your site one day? I would very much not like to see it go down, I use it more or less daily.

 

Hmm. I'm not dead quite yet.... But no, I have nothing firm. The problem is that the Web shifts so fast, that arrangements made more than six months or so ahead of time are likely to fall apart, since the site or person that offers to solve a problem may themselves have gone down.

The poem is not extant. It's known only by indirection, cited by Vacca and Statius but hardly a full text. Vacca does not appear to be online, and is himself quite shadowy, even his floruit is unknown (something like 6th-8th century, though): out of all his commentaries, some of which seem to have survived into the Middle Ages, only that one item, the Vita Lucani, remains today, and it's not so sure it's by him. But whoever wrote it, that's where to find the passage about Lucan's de Incendio, at any rate.

 

Statius of course is easier. The Latin is online at Latin Library
