Polybius mistranslation?
#1
Hello to all,

Seeing from many threads that there are multiple examples of mistranslation with ancient works, I am becoming skeptical with our own English copies of Polybius' The Histories. Specifically, I would like to ask anybody proficient in Greek about the accuracy of his passages 3.107-118 (the paragraphs on Cannae).
