In 1606 or 1607 Salmasius had discovered, in the library of the Counts Palatine in Heidelberg, the only surviving copy of Cephalas 's early unexpurgated copy of the Greek Anthology, including the 258-poem anthology by Straton of Sardis that would eventually become known as the notorious Book 12.
The newly discovered poems in the Palatine version were copied out by Salmasius, and he began to circulate clandestine manuscript copies of them as the Anthologia Inedita.
It was only in 2001 that a full Greek-to-English translation of Book 12 was issued, by Princeton University Press.

So too, the use of "autonomy" here is problematic.
Ancient age-differentiated homoerotic (and heteroerotic) relationships are presented in contemporary non-pejorative contexts not in terms of compulsion, but in terms of pursuit of a beloved who was free to refuse (and frequently does in paederastic poetry such as that of Straton of Sardis).
In other words, concepts of "autonomy" have not so much emerged under "[l]iberal democracy", as developed in a way that denies the possibility of sexual autonomy to those below a certain (widely varying, even in democracies, "Liberal" or otherwise) age.

 REFUTATION OF APPENDIX 1
THE DONATIST BISHOP PETILIANUS OF CONSTANTINE IN AFRICA ASSERTED, in the letter he wrote in 400 and 410, that Marcellinus and the Roman priests Melchiades, Marcellus, and Sylvester (his three successors) had given up the sacred books, and had offered incense.
In the Acts of confiscation of the church buildings at Rome, which at the great Carthaginian conference between Catholics and Donatists, were brought forward by the latter, only two Roman deacons, Straton and Cassius, were named as traitors.
Augustine, in his replies to Petilianus, disputes the truth of the latter's report ("Contra litteras Petiliani", II, 202: "De quibus et nos solum respondemus: aut non probatis et ad neminem pertinet, aut probatis et ad nos non pertinet"; "De unico baptismo contra Petilianum", cap.
