Apronenia Avitia



Las tablillas de boj de Apronenia Avitia. Quien quiera compensar la visión grisácea de la película Ágora que comentábamos hace unos días, hará bien en tomar en sus manos este libro de 1984 (la traducción de Encarna Castejón para Espasa Calpe es de 2003). La lectura de las 32 páginas de la introducción es una experiencia apasionante. La de la transcripción de las extrañas notas de esta patricia que vivió, como quizás Hipatia, en el siglo IV es, además, inolvidable. Las anotaciones de Apronenia en sus tablillas de boj son extrañas por su moderna brevedad. Por su variedad también: cuentas, listas de cosas que ha de recordar, retazos de diario, memoria de placeres, olores, sabores, emociones... Cada una sin excepción (hasta las más aparentemente anodinas) es un ventanal (casi siempre más bien un ventanuco) al pasado.
Copiaría el libro entero en vez de sólo estos botones.

XXVII. Olores odiosos

Cuento seis olores odiosos. El olor que exhalan los juncos de una ciénaga desecada.
Un niño de pecho que ha vomitado la leche de la madre sobre su túnica.
La guarida de la víbora.

XXX. Palabras de borracho de Esp. Posidio Barca

Espurio se emborrachó y recordó balbuceando a Gabba, a la que amó hace cuarenta inviernos. Gabba lleva treinta inviernos muerta. Fue antes de que yo conociera a Aconia Fabia Paulina, el año en que Vetio Agorio Pretextato fue prefecto de la Ciudad, durante el consulado de Flavio Afranio Siagrio. Un hombre que alaba a una mujer que conoció hace mucho y que está muerta es muy desagradable. Despierta celos de un cuerpo que la tierra se ha tragado, de un pensamiento devorado por la nada. Una se siente estúpida e injusta.

CL. Calpetano afina su lira y canta

Las criadas colocan las sillas de tijera en torno al brasero. La oscuridad se apodera del cielo. Se han preparado infusiones con miel, y también huele a vino con especias. Calpetano entra con nosotros, afina la lira y entona el canto de los salianos y el canto de los hermanos arvales. Guardamos silencio y estudiamos la forma de los dedos de nuestros pies.

CLV. Signos de la vejez

Spatale ha dejado de depilarse el pubis

CLVI. Orificios del cuerpo

Tengo la impresión de que los nueve orificios de mi cuerpo están inútilmente abiertos. Sin duda empiezan a darse cuenta de que dan al vacío. Mis nueve orificios empiezan a hablar con el silencio de la muerte.

CLVIII. Cosas que distraen del aburrimiento

Entre las cosas que distraen en los momentos de aburrimiento, mencionaré el vino.
Oír hablar mal de los amigos o parientes.
El juego de las doce líneas.
Lavarse.
Contemplar el propio reflejo en el mármol negro de Bitinia.
Pensar en los regalos para el cuestor.
Desenrrollar un libro.
Coger la lira.
Bajar a las cocinas y comer.

CLXXX. Recuerdo de Espurio Posidio Barca

El banquete en casa de Marcela en el que Espurio, completamente embriagado, gritó tartamudeando:
-No somos animales.
Lloramos de risa

Como acaso Hipatia, Apronenia Avitia tampoco existió. Ni sus epístolas ni sus buxi están en la edición parisina de 1604 del compendio de François Juret como, a la manera de Borges, pretende hacernos creer el autor. Las tablillas es una novela, como Ágora es una película. Ficciones. Pero con un texto lleno de silencios, una mujer de carne y hueso se levanta ante nuestra imaginación a cada página. Es la diferencia.
