[Transcriber's Note:
This e-text is intended for users whose text readers cannot display
the Unicode (utf-8) version of the file. Greek words have been
transliterated and enclosed in equals signs, e.g. =ho logos=.
_Italic_ words have been similarly enclosed in underscores.
As the oe ligature cannot be included in this file format, for
consistency both ae and oe ligatures have been replaced with the
separate letters throughout. In addition, where a macron is placed
above the letter e in the original to represent the Greek letter eta,
it is replaced in this version by a circumflex over the e: ê.
A few minor typographical errors have been silently corrected.
The Table of Contents refers to original page numbers.
