Transcriber's Note: There are many diacritical marks in this text, in addition to Greek, Persian, and Arabic characters. Many common fonts should display these more or less correctly, including Times New Roman, Arial, and Courier New. Firefox seems to display them better than Internet Explorer.

Unusual characters that may not display correctly, depending on your font or software, include ṛ (r with a dot underneath), ṇ (n with a dot underneath), ḍ (d with a dot underneath), and all of the Persian and Arabic characters. I have cheated somewhat and changed H̱ (H with a line underneath) into H, S̱ into S, s̱ into s, u̱ into u, where the new case uses HTML underlining. The UTF-8 version of this ebook has the diacritical marks if you need them for more serious purposes.
