Excerpt from The Idylls of Theocritus The notes must of necessity be somewhat full in an author like Theocritus, who lies beyond the usual track of reading, and whose Greek, naturally difficult, is rendered harder by his position at the beginning of a new epoch when the strictness of the classical idiom and vocabulary is breaking down. In Such a case it is easy to be dogmatic but dogmatism will not convince. It has therefore been necessary to deal at considerable length with grammatical as well as with textual difficulties. For the same reason the index has been arranged to afford a general synopsis of Theocritean usage and style. My heartiest thanks are due to Mr. A. E. Measures, of King Edward's School, Birmingham, for his kindness in undertaking, at short notice, the task of seeing this work through the press during my absence from England. The conditions under which this task is undertaken add to its difficulties, and responsibility for errors and omissions rests with me alone.
