Transcriber's note

• The book cover image was created by the transcriber and is placed in the public domain.
• 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.
• Original spelling, hyphenation and punctuation have been kept, but variant spellings were made consistent when a predominant usage was found.
• Nevetherless, no attempt has been made at normalizing proper names (i.e. Rhegium and Rhêgium, Hêrakleia and Herakleia, Abydos and Abydus, Arsacês and Arsakês, Krêtê and Krête and Krete, Nabopolasar and Nabopolassar, Nanus and Nannus, Ninos and Ninus, Perieget. and Periegêt. and Periêgêt., etc.). The author established at the beginning of the first volume of this work some rules of transcription for proper names, but neither he nor his publisher follow them consistently.
• In p. 63, the word “different” has been inserted (“the members of the same gens might belong to different demes”), after consulting later editions.
• In p. 279, n. 534: the reference to c. xii, p. 227 has been changed to “c. xii, p. 171” to preserve the meaning of the note.
