	LOGOS MULTILINGUAL PORTAL
		The end of the ancient world was marked by the aspiration after a language for uniting peoples brought together by the pax Romana, and until then divided by national borders and the incompatibility of different cultures.
		For Amphictyon, the Bible is the nodal text on which the values of the koine are centred: the linguistic sharing among all peoples of the Hellenistic world.
		Whereas for Aquila the Bible is the place of literary Hermeticism, and the moment when the remote and aloof ethics of Stoic philosophy found a point of cohesion with the Christian revolution.

		A reading of the minutes of the Amphictyon Association by a late twentieth- century student finds a surprising array of subjects which the members debated, from national and international concerns to questioning the conventions of the day and the status quo.

		Besides his involvement with the Amphictyon Association, Nelson served as editor in at least one issue of the Students' Miscellany, a collection of anonymous essays, poems, and plays which followed the vein of the Amphictyon Association.

		After Pylae the assembly was named the Pylaean, even when it met at Delphi, and the deputies of the league Pylagorae.
		The league was supposed to be very ancient, as old even as the name of Hellenes; for its founder was said to be Amphictyon, the son of Deucalion and brother of Hellen, the common ancestor of all Hellenes.

		Amphictyon is willing that the Greek towns should never be destroyed, and yet his law paves the way for their destruction.
		In order to establish a proper law of nations among the Greeks, they ought to have been accustomed early to think it a barbarous thing to destroy a Greek town; consequently they ought not even to ruin the destroyers.
		Amphictyon's law was just, but it was not prudent; this appears even from the abuse made of it.

		In the first case, the divinity is assimilated to the enigma of His words, in the second to the revelation of their meaning, in the third to the source of every logic, in the last, to the decoding that every culture carries out independently within a given linguistic code.
		In this way, the Seventy and Amphictyon legitimate any modern translation, resolving every linguistic aporia through a diminishing of the allusive value of a text by emphasizing its descriptive nature.
		In St. Jerome the same expression is rendered as "The One, who becomes All", whereas Aquila gives "All, that is called One", and in the Seventy "All, that we know as One".
