************************************* Transcriber's Note

There are several references in this text to Grote's previous book on Plato, 'Plato and the Other companions of Sokrates'. The 4-volume version of this book is available in Project Gutenberg: Vol. 1 - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/40435 Vol. 2 - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/40436 Vol. 3 - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/40437 Vol. 4 - https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/40438.

Unfortunately references in this text are to the 3-volume edition, so page numbers differ and in almost all cases chapter numbers are 2 less than in the 4-volume version--as the advertisement says "In the present Edition, with a view to the distribution into four volumes, there is a slight transposition of the author's arrangement. His concluding chapters (XXXVIII., XXXIX.), entitled "Other Companions of Sokrates," and "Xenophon," are placed in the First Volume, as chapters III. and IV."

The text is based on versions made available by the Internet Archive.

For the Greek transcriptions the following conventions have been used: ) is for smooth breathing; ( for hard; + for diaeresis; / for acute accent; \ for grave; = for circumflex; | for iota subscript. ch is used for chi, ph for phi, ps for psi, th for theta; ê for eta and ô for omega; u is used for upsilon in all cases.
