4.  Baldelli.—­Italian translation of Books 35 to 60.  Venice, 1562.

5.  H. Stephanus.—­A second edition of No. 2 with Latin translation of No. 2 added.  A few corrections have been made and the Latin index is a little fuller.  Paris, 1591.

6.  Leunclavius.—­A second edition of No. 3, somewhat emended, and with Books 61 to 80 (Xiphilinus) added; also containing Orsini’s Excerpts Concerning Embassies (in Greek and Latin), notes of Leunclavius, and a still fuller Latin index.  Frankfurt, 1592.

7.  Leunclavius.—­Posthumous edition.  Text of Dio and of Xiphilinus (the latter from Nero to Alexander Severus).  Corrections of R. Stephanus in Dio proper, and of Xylander in both Dio and Xiphilinus, notes of Leunclavius on Dio, and notes of Orsini on Excerpts Concerning Embassies.  Same Latin index as in No. 6.  Hanover, 1606.

8.  REIMAR. (Important.  All previous editions are taken from codex Parisinus B. Reimar, assisted by Gronovius (father and son) and by Quirinus, employed Mediceus A (the standard codex) together with Vaticanus A and Vaticanus B.) Text of Dio and Xiphilinus (Books 36 to 80), the Xylander-Leunclavius Latin version, the Excerpts Concerning Virtues and Vices, and fragments collected from various sources by Henri de Valois.  Reimar used not only the three MSS. mentioned above, but three copies of previous editions,—­one of No. 2 (with notes of Turnebus and others), one of No. 5 (with, notes of Oddey), and one of No. 7 (with notes of an unknown individual of much learning, cited by Reimar and in this edition as N).  Finally he gathered all possible emendations from as many as fourteen scholars who had suggested improvements in the text.  Hamburg, 1750.

9.  J.A.  Wagner.—­German translation in five volumes.  Frankfurt, 1783.

10.  Penzel.—­German translation with notes.  Four volumes.  Leipzig, 1786-1818.

11.  Morellius.—­Fragments of Dio, with new readings of the same.  Emphasizes the importance of codex Venetus A and has some remarks on Venetus B. Published in 1793.

12.  Sturz.—­New edition of Dio based on No. 8, improved by a new collation of the Medicean manuscripts and with collation of the codex Turinensis, besides emendations gathered from many new sources.  Eight volumes.  Leipzig, 1824-5. (Volume IX in 1843, containing Mai’s Excerpts Concerning Judgments.)

13.  Tauchnitz text.—­Stereotyped edition, four volumes, Leipzig, 1829.  New impression, Leipzig, 1870-77. (Originally used as a basis for the present translation after Book Fifty:  later, wholesale revisions were undertaken to make the English for the most part conform to the text of Boissevain.)

14.  Tafel.—­German translation, three volumes.  Stuttgart, 1831-1844.

15.  J. Bekker.—­Dio entire. (With new collation of the old MS. containing most of Books Seventy-eight and Seventy-nine, and with many new and brilliant conjectural emendations by the editor.) Two volumes.  Leipzig, 1849.
