In the notes, I have adopted the standard abbreviations for classical texts and inscriptions, for books of the Bible, and for modern journals and books provided in The Oxford Classical Dictionary, 4th edition revised, ed. Simon Hornblower, Antony Spawforth, and Esther Eidinow (Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press, 2012); The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 2003), 15.50–53; and the bibliographical annual L’Année Philologique. Where possible, the ancient texts are cited by the divisions and subdivisions employed by the author or introduced by subsequent editors (that is, by book, part, chapter, section number, paragraph, act, scene, line, Stephanus page, or by page and line number). Cross-references to other parts of this volume refer to book, and chapter and specify whether the material referenced can be found above or below.
Unless otherwise indicated, all of the translations are my own. I transliterate the Greek, using undotted i’s where no accent is required, adding macrons, accents, circumflexes, and so on. When others—in titles or statements quoted—transliterate in a different manner, I leave their transliterations as they had them.
For other works frequently cited, the following abbreviations and short titles have been employed:
