Since Monday, the editorial college has published 9 new and 153 updated place resources, reflecting the work of 7 people. The usual Monday blog post will summarize the full week's worth of such work, but meantime, here's a at one of the updated place resources, Corsica/Kyrnos (island): pleiades.stoa.org/places/472063

This Pleiades record was originally created by importing data from Barrington Atlas Map 48 "Sardinia-Corsica", which was compiled in 1995 by Stephen L. Dyson. Twelve of the records he originated have been updated so far this week alone. Jeffrey Becker updated this one to include the specific name of the island found on the Peutinger Map (INS. CORSICA) and added a reference to C. Hülsen's still-valuable article in RE. In all, 258 Pleiades place resources derive from Dyson's work on BAtlas. Prof. Dyson passed away on May 31, 2026, at the age of 88.
