Hi Gabby,
I am of course open to suggestions and I think it would be very interesting to involve also eAqua (I know their work and I am in touch with them).
I think that it would be perfect to include also something on "material fragments" (epigraphs and papyri, etc.).
So, for example, we could have two papers on indirect fragments (quotations of lost works) and two on material fragments.

On the one hand I think eAqua having been working on identifying quotations (and even paraphrases) in Greek texts, which fits with your theme, I think; and Charlotte Roueché has a project on quotations and fragments in the works (I'm afraid I'm woolly on the details, but I believe she's on this list), so maybe that would be the best part of a panel already...
