Abbreviations and Other Notes
For references to Galen’s works I have used the standard abbreviations as listed in Hankinson (2008), pp. 392–397. The most frequently referenced works are listed below with their Latin and English title and, if possible, the page numbers in C. G. Kühn’s (K) Opera Omnia edition (Leipzig 1821–1833). For other works, such as those of Plato and Aristotle, I have used the standard abbreviations in footnotes. Translations are my own unless otherwise indicated.
