## Why they were stored, and what changed

They were fetched on 29 August for Round 33, to measure the distance-inheritance class on the same nine-feature battery used for direct master-student pairs: Homer to Apollonius as roughly five centuries with no possible contact, Hesiod as the same-period alternative source. Round 33 itself changed the frame. On MANUS's caution that constructed lineage is the oldest move in the book, Homer to Apollonius was reclassed from a neutral distance control to a distant constructed lineage — the Alexandrian poet claiming epic descent — and the battery was refuted in the same round (#1569, #1570). The seats' own why_seated is kept as written at storing, with the later ruling beside it.

## The numbers

Stored as 12/02 and 12/03 before EA-CORPORA-12 was deposited. That deposit gave 12/02 to Strabo, and these two were never indexed, deposited or shelved under any number: stored, not published, in the archive's own terms. They are seated here as 16/01 and 16/02, and each seat record carries the old number, the new one and the reason.
