transcription is faithful to the original transliterations of
Greek (which occur in italics), even when they seem incorrect.

Author's Greek transliterations included vowels with macrons. These
macrons have been changed to circumflexes in order to display
correctly in this text transcription.

The original revision questions at the bottom of each page have been
set between lines that look like '-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-='.

Footnotes have been placed directly below their relevant paragraphs.
