Does anyone know if Nepos' lives can be found online translated into English?

Hi Paul,

There seem to be a few relatively recent English translations, however they don't seem to be complete, rather only selections.

Cornelius Nepos: A Selection, Including the Lives of Cato and Atticus By Cornelius Nepos, translated by Nicholas Horsfall
http://books.google.com/books?id=gmUmAA ... bs_ViewAPI

Lives of Famous Men: (de Viris Illustribus) By Cornelius Nepos, translated by Gareth L. Schmeling
http://books.google.com/books?id=6Tg-AA ... API&pgis=1

I hope this is something of a help,

Lucianus

Thanks, thats a great help. I don't know Nepos well, what is the opinion on his scholarship and his sources?
