Transcriber's note
- Original spelling, hyphenation and punctuation have been kept, but variant spellings were made
consistent when a predominant usage was found.
- Footnotes have been renumbered and moved to the end of the book.
- Blank pages have been skipped.
- Obvious printer errors have been silently corrected, after comparison with a later edition of
this work. Greek text has also been corrected after checking with this later edition and with Perseus,
when the reference was found.
- Some inconsistencies in the use of diæresis (like “reorganize” and “reörganize”) and in the use
of accents over proper nouns (like “Autokles” and “Autoklês”) have been retained.
- Throughout the text, “Mövers” has been changed to “Movers”, when referring to Franz Karl Movers,
as it is the spelling used in the title pages of his main works in German.
- The following changes were also made, after checking with other editions:
- In note 965, the printed book version has been retained:
“Μὴ κινεῖ Καμάριναν, ἀκίνητόν περ ἐοῦσαν”, but the original English
edition has “Μὴ κινεῖ Καμάριναν, ἀκινητὸς γὰρ ἀμείνων”.
- The book cover image was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
