SBL/AAR Annual Meetings are not only lectures, lectures, lectures and seminars, but also socializing events like going out for dinner. Here is a glimpse of some of those from the Philo of Alexandria sessions having dinner at the Italian restaurante Buca di Pepo on Monday night. You should be able to see from left M. Niehoff, T. Seland (me), AM Seland (my wife), R. Bloch, a finnish NT scholar (don’t remember name), A. Terian, R. Cox, I. Ramelli, D.T. Runia, S. Pearce, mrs Dillon, E. Birnbaum and J. Dillon.

The Finnish NT scholar looks very much like Matti Myllykoski.
Matti Myllykoski is the name I had forgotten; that’s correct!
