[Transcriber’s Note:
This e-text includes characters that require UTF-8 (Unicode) file
encoding, primarily Greek words and letters, and some letters with
macron or breve:
ā ē ī ō ū
ă ĕ ĭ ŏ ŭ
If any of these characters do not display properly--in particular, if
the diacritic does not appear directly above the letter--or if the
apostrophes and quotation marks in this paragraph appear as garbage,
make sure your text reader’s “character set” or “file encoding” is set
to Unicode (UTF-8). You may also need to change the default font. As a
last resort, use the Latin-1 version of the file instead.
Boldface is shown as +marks+, italics as _lines_.]
