As of 1 October 2025, a new research project has started within the framework of the Greek Psalter Edition. Funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the project brings together Mr Alex Savinelli, who will carry out a philological study of Paeanius’s Greek translation (Metaphrasis) of Eutropius’s Abridged Roman History, and Dr Jonathan Groß, who will prepare a new critical edition of this important text. Created only ten years after the Latin work around 379 CE, Paeanius’s translation is one of the few surviving examples from antiquity of a near-contemporary translation from Latin into Greek.

The project aims to deepen our understanding of late antique historiography and the transmission of Latin historical writing into Greek, thereby contributing to ongoing research in classical philology and translation studies.
