A stone with a relief of a dog and AP 7.64 inscribed under it was seen by Wheler and Spon at Venice in 1675, a fact which seems to have remained unmentioned since 1906. H. thinks there is a good chance that the stone was indeed Diogenes' original funerary monument. H.'s knowledge and understanding of the basic facts, bibliographic, epigraphic, and linguistic, is inadequate, and his case for authenticity can be strengthened considerably. The details are not suitable for a review and will appear simultaneously in ZPE as a brief article. I consider there is little doubt that I should have included the epigram in the second volume of my Carmina epigraphica Graeca, and I must congratulate H. on making this 'find' and recognising it as such. H.'s interpretation of the epigram is surrounded by much useful and correctly understood material, but I find it difficult to follow, partly but by no means exclusively because he starts not by considering the monument and epigram in detail but by laying the foundations through a discussion of ' theriomorphe/anthropomorphe Grabfiguren' and 'die Hypostasierung einer chthonischen Gestalt als sichtbares Zeichen der €7rtVAi/ai? des Toten', thereby prejudicing the interpretation. The discussion includes KWOS arj/xa in Eur. Hec. 1273 and the statue of a cow AP 7.169. I found with some dismay that it also includes GF/68 = CEG 1.24, and that H. adopts Kontoleon's idea that Kopi] in Phrasicleia's epitaph means Persephone. In CEG 1,1 limited myself to a laconic 'falso' after the reference, especially as Daux had gone to some trouble to contradict Kontoleon. I now wish I had been more explicit. KopT) is faultless Greek for a young maiden, and this is precisely what Phrasicleia (as portrayed in the statue) was at the time of her untimely death, and will now forever remain. Her elegiac distich is arguably the finest piece of poetry among Greek inscribed epigrams, and any attempt at finding religiously meaningful statements about 'Hypostasierung' in it destroys its extraordinarily moving way of calmly conveying the sad but simple message. The alleged ' Hypostasierung' lacks even the . remotest parallel not only in the sixth century but also in the following two centuries. I I recommend to H. a very perceptive article by J. W. Day, JHS 109 (1989), 16-28, where Phrasicleia's epitaph is briefly but excellently interpreted on p. 26.

It also discusses the results of the Danish patent dissemination system in relation to international results, and includes a review of what has happened to the patents that have been mediated by the public sector to industry. The great majority of the inventions patented were never produced. Most of these inventions were either not fully developed or not adjusted to market requirements. The conclusion is that it is very difficult to implement outside knowledge in commercial companies, and that public technology policy is greatly influenced by the 'science push' idea.
