This e-text includes a few characters that will only display in UTF-8 (Unicode) file encoding:

ā ă ē ŏ ī ĭ ŭ: vowels with “long” or “short” marks (macron and breve)
oe, ȝ: “oe” ligature; yogh

If any of these characters do not display properly—in particular, if the diacritic does not appear directly above the letter—or if the apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage, you may have an incompatible browser or unavailable fonts. First, make sure that the browser’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change your browser’s default font.

All Greek words were given in transliteration, and have not been changed.

A few typographical errors have been corrected. They have been marked in the text with mouse-hover popups.
