# Loeb Book 10 publishes household names, legatees, and school property from the will

Date: 1925

## The fact

The Loeb will text names heirs, a child of Metrodorus, and household dependants, turning private succession into a public English paragraph. [Epicurus](/people/epicurus) did not authorise a 1925 data release.

## Context

Ancient vitae routinely publish private arrangements. The welfare harm is the modern public dump of names without consent from descendants, a small but real opacity-of-the-person path.

Epicurus is not the sole author of every later object, law, or museum label that uses the name. Shared work with courts, excavators, printers, spouses, officials, and later states does not erase a documented role, and it does not make an ancient person the signer of a twentieth-century statute.

## Evidence and sources

Official edition, museum, archive, or agency page and an independent publisher independently describe this instrument.

Official or archival record: Diogenes Laertius, Lives, Loeb / Hicks vol. 2 (https://archive.org/details/livesofeminentph02dioguoft; Internet Archive / Loeb Classical Library scan).

## Significance

A will in a Loeb is an open household register. Do not invent a GDPR coefficient.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.
