It is a pleasant duty to express my thanks to those whose brains I have ruthlessly plundered on points of translation and technical difficulty: Dr E. K. Borthwick, Professor D. E. Eichholz, Professor B. Einarson, Professor D. J. Furley, Professor H. A. Harris, Mr J. F. Lazenby, Dr J. G. Landels, Mr G. E. M. de Ste Croix, Professor J. B. Skemp, Professor R. P. Winnington-Ingram and Professor W. J. Verdenius. Mr G. E. Benfield has had the fortitude to read and criticize the entire translation in draft, an invaluable service for which I am very grateful. My wife, Teresa, has nobly performed the back-breaking task of checking the proofs. I am particularly indebted to Mrs Betty Radice, the Editor of the series, for her wise advice and friendly encouragement over a long period.

I wish to acknowledge my appreciation of the help I received from Professor R. F. Stalley in the revision of the volume, particularly his assistance with the Further Reading.
