Review:
'There is a general introduction to Nepos and his work and detailed introductions to the Cato and Atticus. The translation largely follows Marshall's Teubner edition. H.'s translation is on the whole an excellent one ... combining quite adequate readability with very close adherence to Nepos'
syntax and language. Much of the material in the commentary is similarly excellent, especially that concerned with historical, political, and social matters, where H. seems to me to achieve exactly the right density and balance for a book of this type ... the book is an extremely useful and
stimulating introduction to Nepos, which taught me a lot.'
