New at LacusCurtius and Livius.Org
Prolly, yes. The page numbers of the 1624 Paris edition (Stephanus' textus receptus), by which passages of Plutarch are so often, irritatingly, referred. The Loeb edition provides the subsections (A-F) only for the Moralia; for the Lives, just the page numbers. In my transcription, they're indicated in the left margin in green. The information is, unfortunately, useful to have in the Table of Contents — else I'da dispensed with it — since often all one has with a Plutarch citation is that number ("203D", "489F", etc.); including them in the Contents makes the passage easy to locate.

And that answers that question of mine; in setting up the page, hoping to avoid unwieldiness, I omitted mention of what those numbers stood for, yet I did wonder whether this might throw anyone for a loop. Less than 24 hours later, I have my answer: I've added the explication in the orientation page.
