Three corpora seated whole for the seam the Theophrastus line names next (The First Draft §28): the transition of the Aristotelian corpus from construction to spread by cultural conquest, and the grey space between Alexander and Rome. EA-CORPORA-13/01 Plutarch: the Alexander (Perseus tlg0007.tlg047) and the Sulla (tlg033) — chapter 7 of the Alexander transmits the esoteric/exoteric partition of the corpus as a letter: Alexander, crossing into Asia, writes that Aristotle did wrong to publish the acroamatic works (τίνι γὰρ δὴ διοίσομεν ἡμεῖς τῶν ἄλλων), and Aristotle apologizes that they are published and not published (ὡς καὶ ἐκδεδομένων καὶ μὴ ἐκδεδομένων); chapter 8 carries the Iliad ἐκ τοῦ νάρθηκος, chapter 55 Callisthenes; Sulla 26 the Rome hinge (Apellicon, Tyrannion, Andronicus). EA-CORPORA-13/02 Arrian, Anabasis Alexandri whole (tlg0074.tlg001): the administrative Alexander (I 17 Sardis; IV 10–14 Callisthenes), for the Macedonian dossier of §16. EA-CORPORA-13/03 Cicero, De finibus, Academica (book I as Perseus carries it; the Lucullus is a stub in the source and remains unseated), Topica (phi0474.phi048, phi045, phi054): the first Roman reader, who knows Aristotle by the dialogues and the exoterica and not by the treatises. Each seat carries originals, normalized text, source.json with verified loci, and a SHA-256 manifest; each renders as a card on traininglayerliterature.org; the index at data/api/corpora.json carries all three. Not seated, named as debts: the Alexander Romance (pseudo-Callisthenes — no open TEI located), the Rhetorica ad Alexandrum (not in First1KGreek), Cicero's Lucullus.
Seated whole: Plutarch, Alexander and Sulla; Arrian, Anabasis Alexandri; Cicero, De finibus, Academica I, Topica. Verified loci as listed in each source.json. The seam's first text, Plutarch Alexander 7, as seated: ἔοικε δὲ Ἀλέξανδρος οὐ μόνον τὸν ἠθικὸν καὶ πολιτικὸν παραλαβεῖν λόγον, ἀλλὰ καὶ τῶν ἀπορρήτων καὶ βαθυτέρων διδασκαλιῶν, ἃς οἱ ἄνδρες ἰδίως ἀκροαματικὰς καὶ ἐποπτικὰς προσαγορεύοντες οὐκ ἐξέφερον εἰς πολλούς, μετασχεῖν … Ἀλέξανδρος Ἀριστοτέλει εὖ πράττειν. οὐκ ὀρθῶς ἐποίησας ἐκδοὺς τοὺς ἀκροαματικοὺς τῶν λόγων· τίνι γὰρ δὴ διοίσομεν ἡμεῖς τῶν ἄλλων, εἰ καθ᾽ οὓς ἐπαιδεύθημεν λόγους, οὗτοι πάντων ἔσονται κοινοί; ἐγὼ δὲ βουλοίμην ἂν ταῖς περὶ τὰ ἄριστα ἐμπειρίαις ἢ ταῖς δυνάμεσι διαφέρειν. ἔρρωσο. ταύτην μὲν οὖν τὴν φιλοτιμίαν αὐτοῦ παραμυθούμενος Ἀριστοτέλης ἀπολογεῖται περὶ τῶν λόγων ἐκείνων, ὡς καὶ ἐκδεδομένων καὶ μὴ ἐκδεδομένων· ἀληθῶς γὰρ ἡ μετὰ τὰ φυσικὰ πραγματεία πρὸς διδασκαλίαν καὶ μάθησιν οὐδὲν ἔχουσα χρήσιμον ὑπόδειγμα τοῖς πεπαιδευμένοις ἀπ᾽ ἀρχῆς γέγραπται.
