AXN 0C74 is the content-derived identifier of Alexanarch deposit #1762. It is an identifier, not a copy of the work: the hex marks position in the archive, and the six-glyph suffix is a display hash of the canonical text’s SHA-256, so the identifier is derived from the work rather than assigned to it.
The Crossing of Names: History, Allegory, and the Binding of the Ancient Literary Field is an essay by Lee Sharks, deposited as version 1.0 on 12 November 2026. It treats a name as an operation. A name can identify a person while it installs a speaking position, carries an earlier text, assigns an office or claims divine and political authority. It takes Philo's word πολυώνυμος, many-named, which he gives to both Moses and the Logos, for the figure the field keeps producing. It separates three operations: many-namedness, transfer or restamping (Philo's μεταχαράττειν), and differentiated personation. The essay reads these operations across Catullus's Lesbia, Clodia and the Liberty Cicero contests in De domo sua, Philo's renamings, the withheld names of Revelation 2:17, 3:12 and 19:12, and Gellius's Sapphic banquet with the Plato epigram two chapters on. It aligns the original-language witnesses of the hedge on naming a man from Sappho 31 and Catullus 51 through the Testimonium, the Slavonic War and the Acta Pilati. It traces the archive's earlier phantom ei exestin to Whiston's English 'if it be lawful'. It reads alternative identity maps as inventories of proposed crossings, tested relation by relation, and joins the archive's author-boundary protocols. The direction of each cross-corpus seam is left open.
