Interesting excursus, George, but anchored well before
finding the Qumran deposit.

My 1933 Britannica describes Suidas, Greek lexi-
cographer, of whom next to nothing is known, dating him
by Eustathius (12th - 13th C CE) quoting him frequent-
ly. The last sentence of the Britannica being, "Al-
though the work is uncritical, interpolated, and very
unequal, it contains much information on ancient
history and life."
These references then follow:
Editio princeps, by Demetrius Chalcondyles (1490);
later editions by L. Kuster (1705); T. Gaisford (1834);
G. Bernhardy (1834-53) and I. Becker (1854); see A.
Daub, _Der S. Biographicorum origine et fide_ (1880)
and _Studium zu den Biographika des S. (1882); and J.
E. Sandys, _Hist. of Classical Scholarship_ (1906), p.
104.
Remember, too, there is a large industry at work titrating
the biases of Philo and Josephus, both much closer to the
action.
