Annotation Xenophon (ca. 430 to ca. 354 BCE) was a wealthy Athenian and friend of Socrates. He left Athens in 401 and joined an expedition including ten thousand Greeks led by the Persian governor Cyrus against the Persian king. After the defeat of Cyrus, it fell to Xenophon to lead the Greeks from the gates of Babylon back to the coast through inhospitable lands. Later he wrote the famous vivid account of this 'March Up-Country' (Anabasis); but meanwhile he entered service under the Spartans against the Persian king, married happily, and joined the staff of the Spartan king, Agesilaus. But Athens was at war with Sparta in 394 and so exiled Xenophon. The Spartans gave him an estate near Elis where he lived for years writing and hunting and educating his sons. Reconciled to Sparta, Athens restored Xenophon to honour but he preferred to retire to Corinth. Xenophon's Anabasis is a true story of remarkable adventures. Hellenica, a history of Greek affairs from 411 to 362, begins as a continuation of Thucydides' account. There are four works on Socrates (collected in Volume IV of the Loeb Xenophon edition). In Memorabilia Xenophon adds to Plato's picture of Socrates from a different viewpoint. The Apology is an interesting complement to Plato's account of Socrates' defense at his trial. Xenophon's Symposium portrays a dinner party at which Socrates speaks of love; and Oeconomicus has him giving advice on household management and married life. Cyropaedia, a historical romance on the education of Cyrus (the Elder), reflects Xenophon's ideas about rulers and government; the Loeb edition is in two volumes. We also have his Hiero, a dialogue on government; Agesilaus, in praise of that king; Constitution of Lacedaemon (on the Spartan system); Ways and Means (on the finances of Athens); Manual for a Cavalry Commander; a good manual of Horsemanship; and a lively Hunting with Hounds. The Constitution of the Athenians, though clearly not by Xenophon, is an interesting document on politics at Athens. These eight books are collected in the last of the seven volumes of the Loeb Classical Library edition of Xenophon.

Les livres 78, 79 et 80 sont les trois derniers livres de l'Histoire romaine de Cassius Dion. Ils couvrent les années 216 à 229, soit la fin du règne de Caracalla, les règnes de Macrin et d'Élagabal et le début du règne de Sévère Alexandre, empereurs pour le moins controversés. Et Cassius Dion « fait l'histoire » de cette période à un double titre : non seulement en tant qu'auteur, mais en tant qu'acteur, au sommet de l'État, aux côtés des empereurs. Ces livres sont d'autant plus passionnants que non seulement ils constituent un témoignage de premier ordre sur les quatre règnes, mais ils permettent en outre, par leur aspect autobiographique, de reconstituer la carrière de Cassius Dion. Les livres 78, 79 et 80 ont été transmis par la tradition indirecte, comme la majeure partie de l'Histoire romaine, c'est-à-dire les livres 1 à 35 et 61 à 80 (seuls les livres 36 à 60 sont transmis par la tradition directe). Mais, chose unique parmi les 55 livres de la tradition indirecte, il existe un morceau de tradition directe, qui couvre presque tout le livre 78 et le début du livre 79. Le témoin, le Vaticanus gr. 1288, est exceptionnel : il s'agit d'un manuscrit de parchemin, en onciales, datant de la fin du Ve siècle, soit environ deux siècles et demi seulement après la rédaction de l'œuvre, fait rarissime dans la transmission des textes anciens. Mais il est gravement mutilé, ce qui rend son édition particulièrement délicate.
