Notes

1 Wright, J., Travels in Libya 1550–1911, was published in 2005, and at least one more volume is in preparationGoogle Scholar.

2 A separate volume devoted to translations of selected inscriptions from ancient Libya, although an onerous task of compilation, would provide a welcome and extremely valuable addition to the Silphium Press list.

3 As correctly mentioned on p. 156; yet the caption to Fig. 29 suggests that Apuleius ‘delivered his lecture’ (presumably the Apologia) in the basilica at Oea, which he did not. Apologia 59 makes it clear that the proconsul Claudius Maximus sat to hear the case in Sabratha.
