Spelling inconsistencies that occur more than once, such as ‘herschen’ beside ‘herrschen’, have not been normalized. Obvious spelling and punctuation errors have been corrected whenever encountered. Several errors in the Greek text have been corrected after consulting authoritative editions; since all involve incorrect diacritics and do not affect the meaning, it has not been thought necessary to list them individually.

In the critical apparatus, references to the line numbers of the text are normally followed by a period in the original, but occasionally they are followed by a comma or no punctuation at all and are assumed to be typesetting errors. Since these inconsistencies are unlikely to cause a misunderstanding, a systematic effort has not been made to find and correct them, although many have been corrected if noticed in the course of transcription.

A list of specific changes that deserve mention is found [at the end of the text] following the footnotes.

The cover image that appears in e-book versions was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
