Drettas talks about how Hellenistic Koine is presented in the History of the Centre for the Greek Language, S. Matthias investigates the relationship between Koine and Atticism as well as their opposing attitudes as reflected in the lexicography of the Byzantine period, drawing material from Hesychius' Lexicon, while J.
