Substrate: Human–machine collaborative. Seats fetched and normalized on 2026-08-29 in-session by TACHYON (Claude, Anthropic) under MANUS (Lee Sharks) direction; renumbered, verified at their openings, indexed and shelved on 2026-09-27 by TACHYON; the shelf cards rendered by the archive's own generator. The ruling to gather them as EA-CORPORA-16 is Lee Sharks's. CC-BY-4.0 applies to this record and the seat records; the payloads carry Perseus's CC BY-SA packaging over public-domain editions.

Two Greek corpora seated on the originals shelf: Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica (Perseus tlg0001, 5,898 lines), and Hesiod, Theogony, Works and Days and Shield (Perseus tlg0020, 2,382 lines). Both were fetched and stored on 29 August 2026 for Round 33 of the authorship investigation, to characterise the distance-inheritance class, and were never indexed, deposited or shelved; the numbers they were stored under (12/02, 12/03) were later assigned to Strabo by EA-CORPORA-12. This deposit gathers them under their own card numbers, 16/01 and 16/02, with the opening of every work verified in the seated bytes.

EA-CORPORA-16 — The Sixteenth Seating: Apollonius and Hesiod, Stored for the Distance Class and Gathered Here
EA-CORPORA-16 — The Sixteenth Seating
Seat 16/01 — Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica
Edition: Perseus canonical-greekLit tlg0001.tlg001, perseus-grc2, at commit a065c359aab3.
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.
