      ORIGINAL PREPARER’S NOTE

       This text was prepared from an 1888 edition published by Longmans,

       Green, and Co., London. A number of fragments of Greek text, and

       sketches, have been omitted due to the difficulty of representing

       them as plain text. However, small fragments of Greek have been

       transcribed in brackets “{}” using an Oxford English Dictionary

       alphabet table, without diacritical marks.

      PREPARER’S NOTE—UNICODE EDITION

       A number of fragments of Greek and other text, omitted from the

       original posting, have been restored in this Unicode text.

       Sketches, however, have not yet been restored.
