Xenophon
The Anabasis
Translated by H. G. Dakyns, 1890
What this is
Ten thousand Greek mercenaries march into Persia for a prince who is killed in his first battle, find themselves a thousand miles from home with their generals murdered, elect new ones — Xenophon among them — and walk out through the mountains to the sea.
How it is set
One leaf per book, with the sections numbered inside it as Long numbers them. A section of Marcus is often three lines, and a page holding three lines is not a page.
What is not here
Notes. These books have the text and nothing else at present — no map, no lives, no commentary. The Gospel of St Luke shows what an annotated book looks like on this shelf, and these will follow it. An empty heading is better than invented filler.
