...he not only provides an admirably readable translation of this 'forbidding and unattractive' text, densely littered with technicalities, but adds some eighty pages of illustrations with fresh translations of Libanius, Lucian, Sopater, Syrianus and Aelius Aristides. Dr Heath has gone to enormous pains to give readers every possible help in approaching this extremely specialised treatise on the matters 'at issue' in the court rooms of the second century AD...it provides a lucid account of some rather recondite material. The Clarendon Press is certainly doing its bit for rhetoric.
