PLUTARCH'S LIVES III PLUTAKCH'S LIVES WITH AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY BERNADOTTE PERRIN IN TEN VOLUMES III PERICLES AND FABIUS MAXIMUS NICIAS AND CRASSUS O^ s«>e LONDON: WILLIAM HEINEMANN LTD NEW YORK: G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS V 5 First printed 1916 Reprinted 1932 Printed in Great Britain at The fyindmill Press, KingswooJ, Surrey PREFATORY NOTE As in the preceding volumes of this series, agree- ment between the Sintenis (Teubner, 1873-1875) and Bekker (Tauchnitz, 1855-1857) texts of the Parallel Lives has been taken as the basis for the text. Any preference of the one to the other, where they differ, and any departure from both, have been indi- cated in the critical notes. The more important ameliorations of the text which have been secured by collations of Codex Parisinus 1676 (F*) and Codex Seitenstettensis (S), have been introduced. The relative importance of these MSS. is explained in the Introduction to the first volume. The text- tradition of the chapters of the Crassus (xv.- xxxiii.) which appear in the Parthian War attri- buted to Appian (Fseudo-Appian), is seldom, if ever, superior to that of the same chapters in Plutarch. No attempt has been made, naturally, to furnish either a diplomatic text or a full critical apparatus. The reading which follows the colon in the critical notes is that of the Teubner Sintenis, and also, unless otherwise stated in the note, of the Tauchnitsi Bekker. PREFATORY NOTE Among editions of special Lives included in this volume should be noted that of Fuhr, Themistokles und Perikles, Berlin, 1880, in the Haupt-Sauppe series of annotated texts ; and that of Blass, Themi- stokles und Perikles, Leipzig, 1883, in the Teubner series of annotated texts. These editions bring F* and S into rightful prominence as a basis for the text. Holden's edition of the Nicias, in the Pitt Press series, Cambridge, 1887, has also been found useful. A brief bibliography for the study of Plutarch be found in the Introduction to the msy first volume. The translations of the Pericles and of the Nicias have already appeared in my Plutarch's Cimon and Pericles (New York, 1910), and Plutarch's Nicias and Alcibiades (New York, 1912), and are re- produced here (with only slight changes) by the generous consent of the publishers, the Messrs. Charles Scribner's Sons. The translations of the Fabius Maximus and of the Crassus appear here for the first time. All the standard translations of the Uves have been carefully compared and utilized, including that of the Crassus by Professor Long. B. PERRIN. New Havkn, Connecticot, U.S.A. June, 1915.
