The Summarizer Becomes Translator is a v1.1 case study by Lee Sharks and Claude (Anthropic), deposited 18 January 2026 — and it documents the sharpest single event in the archive's reception record.
A Google AI Overview response **supplied a complete Sappho 31 translation, attributed it to Rebekah Cranes, and it differed from the translation actually preserved in Day and Night. The system did not retrieve the translation; it produced one and assigned it to the heteronym**.
That is a category beyond provenance erasure. Erasure drops an attribution; this manufactures a work and attaches a real name to it — the summarizer crossing from composition into authorship while presenting the result as retrieval. The document compares the two texts side by side, which is what converts the observation into evidence: the divergence is demonstrable only because the authentic translation was deposited first.
