New original cover art included with this eBook is granted to the
public domain. Text has been added to the original blank cover.
Sidenotes are enclosed in boxes with dashed borders. If a
sidenote is within a sentence then it is moved to the beginning of
the sentence.
Page headers are enclosed in boxes with dotted borders. If a
header is within a sentence then it is moved to the beginning of
the sentence. No attempt has been made to align it to the actual
paragraph matching its text.
Horizontal rule lines have been added between chapters in order
to clearly mark the change.
Most footnotes were renumbered sequentially and moved
to the end of text after the index. The footnote anchor is a
superscripted number. In order to match the index entries, the
very long multi-page note on page 174 is placed immediately after the
paragraph containing the footnote.
Missing full-stops and abbreviation stops silently added. Missing
commas and semicolons added to index.
English text corrections are shown with an underline. Obsolete and
alternative spellings are left unchanged (e.g. loth, preventible). Spelling and
hyphenation has not been standardised.
Greek text remains as printed.
Note that page numbers in the table of contents for illustrations and
maps point to the illustration/map. The placement before/after a full
paragraph may have affected the location.
Index references have not been checked for accuracy. The placement
of footnotes at the end of the book may have affected the location.
The two large map images at the end of the book were scanned in two
parts and then spliced together. This produced some discontinuities that
were are not present on the original images.
