After checking the Greek or Latin, I frequently use other translations if I fi nd them satisfactory or in need only of slight modifi cations, which I also note. I transliterate all Greek words except in a few cases when the diacritical marks matter for my interpretation or when I am citing the Greek- English lexicon. I have included a separate bibliography of primary sources, noting all editions consulted, including Greek and Latin editions as well as translations. All these decisions result from prioritizing accessibility, transparency, and artfulness.
