Abstract
P.Oxy. LXVIII 5156, a second century witness to Plutarch’s Quaestiones Convivales, reads τηρε[ῖ instead of the mediaeval manuscripts’ ποιεῖ at 660 c 7. The passage suggests a parallel between the effect of conversation on wine drinking and that of marble on heated iron during a puzzling metallurgical process. In this paper we identify and explain this process in the context of ancient ironworking technology, and discuss the two readings and their implications for the understanding of the simile.
