This e-text includes Greek and other characters that will only display in UTF-8 (Unicode) text readers, e.g. διδαχή. If any of these characters do not display properly, 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 ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) version of this text instead, in which the Greek words have been transliterated.
_Italic words_ in the original have been enclosed in underscores in this version.
A few minor typographical errors have been silently corrected. Some inconsistent hyphenation has been retained.
