Articles from such collections, however, have traditionally often been summarized only if the title was not deemed sufficiently descriptive. Our Office has, however, in the past few years begun giving such articles higher priority. On occasion, an author will also notify us, or, better, send us a copy, of an article that appeared in a place not likely to be noticed. Such an article will be summarized even if some time has passed since its publication. On occasion we must also belatedly summarize articles that we should not have missed in the first place.
Mistakes sometimes occur.
Other ancient civilizations concern us only to the degree that they had contact with Rome or Greece, or if they were the subject of Greek or Roman writers. Their inclusion in APh must be strictly limited, especially for archaeology. 1500 B.C. For archaeological articles the limits are set more strictly at 2000 B.C. for the East and 1000 B.C. for the West. At the other end, the former limit of A.D. 800 for history has been cut back to A.D. 476 in the West and A.D. 565 in the East. We do of course still take account of important authors such as Bede and Paulus Diaconus.
