Transcriber's notes:
(1) Numbers following letters (without space) like C2 were originally
printed in subscript. Letter subscripts are preceded by an
underscore, like C_n.
(2) Characters following a carat (^) were printed in superscript.
(3) Side-notes were relocated to function as titles of their respective
paragraphs.
(4) Macrons and breves above letters and dots below letters were not
inserted.
(5) [root] stands for the root symbol; [alpha], [beta], etc. for greek
letters.
(6) The following typographical errors have been corrected:
ARTICLE INSCRIPTIONS: "Closely connected with South Arabia is
Abyssinia." 'with' amended from 'wth'.
ARTICLE INSCRIPTIONS: "Sanskrit figures first in one of the records
at Nasik of Rishabhadatta (Ushavadata) ..." 'Sanskrit' amended from

ARTICLE INSPIRATION: "In Delphi the Pythia, the priestess who
delivered the oracles ..." 'Delphi' amended from 'Dephi'.

related that either can be readily calculated when the other is
