Abstract
The author presents a progress report on his computer‐based research on Hellenistic Greek texts and summarizes practical procedures he developed in the course of his study of the Pseudo‐Philonic De aetemitate mundi. He discusses word‐length as a chronological criterion, the formation of testable hypotheses concerning matters of style, and ways to display a text so as to expose its structure. He seeks to promote the use of quantitative methods in Greek philology and to encourage the use of computers in the study and teaching of Greek but is also at pains to point out limitations inherent in the techniques he advocates.
