• Ahmes — The name of an Egyptian scribe from the Second Intermediate Period (around 1650 BC), historically recognized as the first mathematician in the world whose name has been documented. He copied and compiled the famous Rhind Mathematical Papyrus, a unique structural collection of ancient Egyptian mathematical and geometric problems including fractions, simple linear equations, and area calculations.
• Anopistograph — A manuscript, ancient document, or papyrus that is written, printed, or engraved on one side only, leaving the reverse side completely blank for technical, economic, or ritualistic aesthetic reasons. As an adjective, the term qualifies any material support (parchment, paper, tablet) featuring text or graphic elements exclusively on one side, typical of the earliest stages in the development of book volumes and structures in antiquity.
• Bacchylides — An ancient Greek lyric poet (5th century BC), native to Iulis on the island of Ceos, nephew of Simonides and a contemporary rival of Pindar. He is renowned for his epinicians (triumphal odes dedicated to victors at the Panhellenic games) and dithyrambs, which are characterized by an elegant narrative style, great clarity of expression, fluid composition, and a refined use of myths reflected in artistic images of exceptional sensitivity.
