Loeb Classical Library, 5 volumes, Greek texts with facing English translation by H. B. Dewing: Harvard University Press, 1914 thru 1928. As elsewhere onsite, the header bar at the top of each chapter's webpage will remind you with the same color scheme. In the table of contents below, the sections are therefore shown on blue backgrounds, indicating that I believe the text of them to be completely errorfree red backgrounds would mean that they still needed that final proofreading. I ran a first check immediately after entering each book then I proofread the text word by word, a check which is meant to be final. ( Well-meaning attempts to get me to scan text, if successful, would merely turn me into some kind of machine: gambit declined.) The entire work as we have it today is onsite here in English translation.Īs almost always, I retyped the text and the translation rather than scanning them, not only to minimize errors prior to proofreading, but as an opportunity for me to become intimately familiar with the work, an exercise which I heartily recommend.
