This e-text includes a few words of accented Greek:
δῆτα, ἀγαθός
If the words do not display properly, 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.
Typographical errors have been marked in the text with mouse-hover popups. The shift from “Antony” (“Life of Cicero” section) to “Antonius” (remainder of the book) is unchanged. Date format has been regularized to “(year) B.C.”; in the original, about a quarter of the dates were in the reversed form “B.C. (year)”. A few cases of “scil,” with comma have been silently changed to “scil.” Four occurrences of “æ”—three of them on the same page—have been regularized to “ae”.
Missing footnote anchors have been supplied or restored; they are marked Nlike this without further annotation.
All links from the Oration lead to Notes; all links in the Notes—except obvious cross-references to other Notes—lead back to the Oration. This e-text includes a second, “stripped-down” text of the Oration, retaining correction popups but with all links to Notes removed.
