Direct ingest of public-domain or compatibly-licensed editions (DIORISIS, Perseus, LSJ). Each passage carries provenance and an audit chain. No AI, no paraphrasing, no editorial reshaping at this layer.

The three kinds of authorship
Every Logoi surface falls into one of three authorship categories. The matrix below maps Logoi's surfaces to their authorship class.
Logios, the librarian — a large language model configured as a restricted research librarian. It can only call Logoi's corpus tools; every answer streams with ai_authored: true, a disclosure line, source IDs, and a receipt URL. Words absent from the corpus return 'not attested' rather than an invention.
AI-drafted from parsed dictionary entries (Beekes, Chantraine, Frisk, LSJ) and live corpus statistics, with machine-verified citations against the parsed sources, reviewed before publication. Each article carries its own disclosure line.
Authored and edited by Cody Peterson. The architecture decisions, scholarly framing, and policy posture are human work.

Logios, the librarian — what it is, what it is not
The four facts below answer the load-bearing questions a scholar or auditor would ask about the AI layer.
Logios (Λόγιος, 'skilled in words' — Hermes' epithet as god of eloquence) is Logoi's librarian: a retrieval-restricted AI. It answers only by calling Logoi's eighteen corpus tools (lemma lookup, concordance, passage lookup, lexicon, semantic search, morphology, frequency, and so on) against the audited database. It is not a general chatbot.
Tool results only. Every claim in an answer traces to source IDs and a receipt URL streamed alongside the text. The assistant is instructed never to supply Greek text, counts, or etymologies from model memory.
It paraphrases; it does not reprint copyrighted material. It cites every source. It flags uncertainty and honest absence ('not attested in the indexed corpus') rather than guessing.
Logoi's runtime is provider-agnostic: the assistant layer can run on different large language models behind a gateway with spend caps. The model in use is named in the meta event of every streamed answer.
Copyright posture
Three copyright positions, one per authorship category. The US Copyright Office's 2023 guidance on AI-generated content is the framing used here.
Public domain or upstream-licensed (CC BY, CC BY-SA, etc.). Logoi's display does not change the upstream copyright. Attribution per source MANIFEST.
