| Transcriber’s note: |
A few typographical errors have been corrected. It
appears in the text like this, and the
explanation will appear when the mouse pointer is moved over the marked
passage. Sections in Greek will yield a transliteration
when the pointer is moved over them, and words using diacritic characters in the
Latin Extended Additional block, which may not display in some fonts or browsers, will
display an unaccented version. [Links to other EB articles:] Links to articles residing in other EB volumes will be made available when the respective volumes are introduced online. |
