The previous edit was a wholesale lifting (68K) of the complete text of the work itself, in the 1913 Loeb edition translation. While it is public domain, this isn't the place for texts; consider adding it to Wikitexts. Bill 12:00, 17 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I did lift the work as it is public domain, I investigated the source website and they only require that the source be mentioned, but to save any argument I have now just inserted a link to the website with the source of the text. [[User:James Hernon] 15:59 17 August 2005. Having the link to the source text should be acceptable. jhernon@btinternet.com
