Was a momentous day today to have Hon. PM Sri Narendra Modi inaugurate Signaltron/Signalchip's network on BSNL under USOF at #IMC2022 #AtmaNirbharBharat #5GinIndia @USOF_India @DoT_India
We made successful video call from our Sahyadri basestation at IMC Atmanirbhar Pavillion to our eNodeB installed at Hirekattigenahalli BSNL site, Chintamani taluk in Karnataka, both basestations powered by Signalchip's Agumbe chipset. @signaltron @USOF_India #IMC2022
This is the first deployment of a network with a system running on an Indian Chip! #IndiasOwn5GChips #IndiasOwn4GChips #AtmaNirbharBharat #IMC2022

Tuesday: Sotades the Obscene, inventor of palindromes, the Priapeia, sotadean metre and so much more. Also: the kinaidoi (effeminate dancers of Alexandria), Arsinoe the sex-positive proto-feminist queen, incestual royal marriage and sick burns. 2/7 -ms
Wednesday: later antique Greek palindromes from the oldest letter-by-letter verse (a school exercise in Tebtunis Egypt) through the Greek Anthology, Leo the Wise, Western Euopean baptismal fonts and Theodoros Prodromos. 3/7 -ms
Day 6 of palindromic #TwitterHistorian @taoish Mark Saltveit's stint. Yesterday, the SATOR / ROTAS square. Today, "versus recurrentes" = Latin palindromic poetry, mostly 1 line. At #IMC2021, I argued that it was a continuous & self-referential genre from 2nd-15th c. CE.

I listed 42 but documenting is tricky. These were rarely in main texts. Most appeared in margins or on fly leaves, but repeated over the centuries. Theory: these were transmitted by teachers, esp. of scribes, and passed via wax tablets, memory & pen tests (federproben).

The classic (and first known) Latin verse #palindrome is a dactylic pentameter: "Roma tibi subito motibus ibit amor." Sidonius Apollinaris (ep. 9.14, ~480 CE) called it ancient. It's on a roof tile from Aquincum dated 107 CE next to a ROTAS square & at Ostia (200 CE). 3/12 -ms
