Textual Note

This edition does is not a full scholarly or critical edition (for which see this project), but rather aims to be an edition that can be used by students of Latin and Ancient Greek. I have not refrained from emending Ruland's Greek translation where I judged his Greek to be unidiomatic or ungrammatical. These emendations are shown next to the original text in an in-line apparatus criticus in square brackets. Angled brackets < > show text that I have added. The obelisk † marks a word that cannot be transcribed from the source scan.

Progress

• recension: done
