Get to know Aeneas' work
Translation: Hunter&Handford (1927).
Overview of the Poliorketika
Minor changes have been made to the original text of the translation, mostly regarding punctuation.
Titles
The manuscripts of the text give titles to most of the chapters. These titles are probably not original. In some cases titles have been supplied or were used for the paragraph, although they are located in a different place in the text. Any such changes are indicated in the text with the appropriate brackets. You can also check the Greek to compare.
- What do the brackets mean?
- ( ) Text in round brackets contains comments which are in the original text.
- [ ] Text in square brackets has been added by me (Greek terms in transliteration, cross-references)
- < > text in angle brackets: Greek text restored by editors where there were clearly gaps (caused by the copying of manuscripts). The translation used here only marks longer interpolations in this way.
