Practical problems with Atheneus' names

See also: Athenaeus in oXygen --- examples and exercises

• Placeholders for names such as “alpha” and “beta”
• Nicknames which are part of a person's name, interspersed with articles:

<name type=“person”>Ἀρτεμίδωρος</name> ὁ <name type=“noclass”>Ψευδαριστοφάνειος</name> παρίστατο <name type=“person”>Παλλὰς</name> <name type=“noclass”>Ἀθήνη</name>

• Name + ethnic + name of work:

τοῦ <name type=“person”>Φιλοξένου</name> δὲ τοῦ <name type=“ethnic”>Λευκαδίου</name> <name type=“noclass”>Δείπνου</name>

• Referring to a person by a description + name combination:
