Note on Abbreviations, Texts and Translations, and Transliteration

Abbreviations for ancient sources, dictio‑ naries, and encyclopedias follow those in the Oxford Classical Dictionary (OCD). Journal titles follow the format of L’année philologique; when not present there, they are given in full. Greek and Latin texts are drawn from the Loeb editions unless otherwise indicated; English translations are modeled on the Loeb editions, with changes.
