[Transcriber's Note:

This e text is intended for users whose text readers cannot handle the "real" (unicode, utf 8) version. Greek text in the notes has been transliterated and shown between marks. Letters with uncommon diacritics have been "unpacked" and shown in brackets: expunctuation [a.][d.] macron [ a][ o]

Boldface type is shown with marks. Italics are generally shown with lines . Where this form would be unduly distracting, as in the body text (showing editorial emendations) or critical notes (marking individual letters within a word), {braces} are used instead.

In the original text, section numbers for the Latin text were printed in the margin, while chapter numbers appeared as page headers. Most paragraphs contained several numbered sections; they have been broken up for this e text.

The Introduction, Notes and Commentary "outweigh" the primary text by a factor of at least 12. The Latin text by itself is therefore duplicated at the very beginning of the e text, before the Preface. If saved as a separate file it should take up less than 100 kilobytes.]
