PREFACE
As ALREADY STATED in the preface to Volume II, the Appendix
included in Volume III comprises both problematical texts and
those which, according to the strict criteria established in the
. preface to Volume I, were not published in the first two volumes.
For sake of completeness, I have added passages from legal
writers.1 An index of sources and select indexes of subjects and of
Greek words and phrases follow.
I wish to express my thanks to Mrs Yvonne Glikson of the staff
of the Israel Academy of Sciences and Humanities for her
devoted assistance in preparing the volume and seeing it through
press. I also wish to express my debts to Mr J. Elron for
proof-reading the English and Latin, and to the Ben-Zvi Printing
Enterprises Press.
I am grateful to Harvard University Press for permission to
reprint translations in the Loeb Classical Library Series.
Last, but not least, I would acknowledge my debt to the National
and University Library in Jerusalem and to the Bodleian Library
and the Ashmolean Museum Library of Oxford, where I was
assisted at the different stages of preparation of the three
volumes.
