Abbreviations

References to the rhetorical works of Dionysius of Halicarnassus (DH) are to the chapter and section number of the Budé editions by G. Aujac, Denys d’Halicarnasse: Opuscules rhétoriques, Tome 1 (1978), 2 (1988), 4 (1991) and 5 (1992); and G. Aujac and M. Lebel, Denys d’Halicarnasse: Opuscules rhétoriques, Tome 3 (1981). References to Plato and Lysias follow the most recent Oxford Classical Texts editions. References to Isocrates are to the Budé editions by G. Mathieu and É. Brémond (1928–62). Unless indicated otherwise, English translations of the Greek and Latin authors are borrowed and adapted from the Loeb Classical Library series.

Authors’ names are in general abbreviated as in the ninth edition of Liddell and Scott, and for the sake of clarity I have kept the Latinized names (e.g. ‘Isocrates’, not ‘Isokrates’).
