CONCERNING THE TRANSLATION

Cassius Dio, one of the three original sources for Roman history to be found in Greek literature, has been accessible these many years to the reader of German, of French, and even of Italian, but never before has he been clothed complete in English dress.  In the Harvard College Library is deposited the fruit of a slight effort in that direction, a diminutive volume dated two centuries back, the title page of which (agog with queer italics) reads as follows: 

THE

HISTORY

OF

DION CASSIUS

ABBRIDG’D BY XIPHILIN

CONTAINING

The most considerable Passages under the Roman emperors from the time of Pompey the Great, to the Reign of Alexander Severus.
