Diodorus Siculus

Diodorus' text has only partially survived: we have Books I–V and XI–XX intact, while the remaining books (VI–X and XXI–XL) survive only in fragments. The text is available in its fullest translated form at LacusCurtius, where Bill Thayer has collated a table of contents linking to his own and other sites containing partial translations.

Godley's Loeb translation is available in HTML format from the Perseus Project and in various scanned formats from the Internet Archive. Other earlier translations are also available online, for anyone who wants to look.

Pausanias

Ἑλλάδος περιήγησις – Description of Greece

Jones' and Ormerod's Loeb translation is available in HTML format from the Perseus Project and from Theoi.com (© Aaron Atsma)—the latter facilitates continuous reading better than the former, though without the various cross-referencing tools.

Solinus

Collectanea rerum memorabilium – Collection of remarkable things

When this project started, the only modern translation that existed was part of a 2011 PhD thesis by Arwen Apps, offering a critical study of the Collectanea. This, however, was not available. I therefore started transcribing text from a modern facsimile edition of Arthur Golding's 1587 translation and adding it to this site.

However, Apps' translation has since been made available via the Aikaterini Laskaridis Foundation's ToposText collection, rendering transcription unnecessary.

An online version of Golding's text is also now available from the University of Michigan's Early English Books Online project..

A HTML version of Mommsen's 1895 edition of the Latin text is available at The Latin Library; a scanned book version of the same edition can be found at the Internet Archive.

The English translation of Hamilton and Falconer (1850s) has been made available by the Perseus Project, along with Meineke's 1877 Teubner edition of the Greek text.

John Tzezes

Chiliades / Book of Histories

Tzetzes was a Byzantine scholar of the 12th Century. The Chiliades ('Thousands') is a verse miscllany of historical and antiquarian items. (The commonly used title derives from a Renaissance division of the text into blocks of 1,000 lines.)
