Transcriber’s Note

The printer employed the cursive forms of beta (ϐ) and theta (ϑ), sometimes in the same passage with the standard β and θ. These have been replaced with the standard forms.

Some place names appear with slight spelling variations. In the interest of text searches, these have been modified to the most frequently used version. Compound words sometimes appear with or without a hyphen, e.g., ‘corn-chandler’ / ‘cornchandler’. Where hyphenation occurs on a line break, the hyphen is retained only if there is a clear preference elsewhere.

Punctation errors and inconsistencies in the footnote and index apparatus have been corrected with no further mention here.

Index entries refer to topics in all three volumes of this text. Notes were numbered sequentially from ‘1’ on each page. In this medium, the footnotes have been re-sequenced for uniqueness, and any references to footnotes in the index employ those new numbers.

Index entries in Greek sometimes do not include diacritical marks. These have been changed to match the referenced text, to facilitate text searches.

Comments

80.5.7 The third footnote on p. 80 (note 317) contains a
Greek quotation from Theophrastus’ Characters c. 1.:
“πρὸς τοὺς δανειζομένους καὶ ἐρανίζοντας, ὡς οὐ
=πωλείφήσεν=.” The passage as it appears in the
Perseus collection ends with “ὡς οὐ =πωλεῖ, καὶ= μὴ
πωλῶν.”

124.n8.9 The opening quotation mark was printed several lines
down at ‘“élémens de la classe...’.

474.61 In the original entry regarding the lack of stress on
writing in Sparta, there was no volume reference, and
the page reference was to p. 180. It was found at iii.
280.

446.16 The entry ‘cattle stalls’ refers to the first note on
p. 291 of Vol ii. The note was found on p. 271.

466.42 The entry for ‘Rhododendron’ includes a reference to
‘note 4’, without a volume or page reference. The only
other reference in these volumes is at iii. 344 _n._ 1
(note 1982 here).

466.13 The note referring to ‘Relics preserved in temples’ at
i. 34 _n._ 2 is found at p. 84 of Vol. i., now note
263.

Other errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original. Corrections within notes are denote with ‘n’ and the original note number.
