Two notes on the Hippiatrica.

چکیده
P ELAGONIUS' BOOK on horse medicine,l a main source of Vegetius' Mulomedicina, was composed around the middle of the fourth century. It was later incorporated in the Greek collection of hippiatric texts known as the Hippiatrica. 2 When a Latin manuscript of Pelagonius (originally copied in 1485 on behalf of Politian and bearing his subscriptio 3) was discovered and edited in the early nineteenth century, a dispute arose as to whether Pelagonius had written in Greek or Latin. Blunders and misunderstandings in the Greek version enabled Karl Hoppe, one of the modern editors of the Hippiatrica, to demonstrate the priority of the Latin text. 4 Apart from a small palimpsest fragment traceable to Bobbio, the tradition rests on the MS. copied for Politian. Since the text it offers is not marred in any serious way (except for a major lacuna), the importance of the Greek version (and, incidentally, of Vegetius) lies not so much in any critical contribution that it could make to the Latin text but in preserving a number of passages that have perished in the Latin version. 5 But, on the other hand, the Latin version of Pelagonius is of considerable value for the textual history of the Hippiatrica. This collection survives in four (or possibly more) distinct versions that all

Some notes on the characterization of two dimensional skew cyclic codes
A natural generalization of two dimensional cyclic code ($T{TDC}$) is two dimensional skew cyclic code. It is well-known that there is a correspondence between two dimensional skew cyclic codes and left ideals of the quotient ring $R_n:=F[x,y;rho,theta]/_l$. In this paper we characterize the left ideals of the ring $R_n$ with two methods and find the generator matrix for two dimensional s...
