Quote:The translation that I'm using (the, most recent I believe, one by Robin Waterfield) gave no hint of that sort of word - so please, please let us explore that a bit. The part of Ch26 that I'm looking at says ...It's a nice translation, but is no longer the most recent, now that the Loeb Classical Library have released Walbank's revision of Paton's translation (reviewed here). But, if you do not already know about it, you really must have a look at the online Loeb (beware: it's Paton's unrevised original translation, occasionally mis-transcribed, but links to Walbank's Commentary): http://pace.mcmaster.ca/
