The contents then of this volume are Frag ments which have been translated from foreign languages into Greek; or have been quoted or transcribed by Greeks from foreign authors; or have been written in the Greek language by foreigners who have had access to the archives of their own respective countries.

For the most ample and satisfactory explanation of the whole, I must refer to the inimitable works of Mr. Faber and Bryant.
