READER
lector (general term): recitator (one who reads over or recites): anagnostes (one who reads to persons at table): praelector (one who reads and explains the works of an author. In the Silver Age lector was used in this sense; for which in the Golden Age the Greek technical term anagnostes appears to have been employed; Vid: Nep. Att. 13 and 14). Also by circumlocution with legere; e.g. a reader of the writings of Archimedes qui Archimedis libros legit: I believed that it would not be unacceptable to my readers *judicavi non ingratum fore iis qui haec legant.
