This being neither a critical edition of the text nor an emended

edition of Casaubon's translation, it has not been thought

necessary to add full notes. Casaubon's own notes have been

omitted, because for the most part they are discursive, and not

necessary to an understanding of what is written. In those which

here follow, certain emendations of his are mentioned, which he

proposes in his notes, and follows in the translation. In

addition, one or two corrections are made where he has mistaken

the Greek, and the translation might be misleading. Those which

do not come under these two heads will explain themselves.
