Of course, "premodern" is problematic too but much less so than "Oriental," and it's more inclusive than "Classical" or other such terms that were on the table. Especially in recent years, AOS has been very open to work by people who would more likely self-ID as "early modernists."

And, this solves the "You're going to the WHAT NOW conference??" problem we sometimes have with people outside the field.
