[Transcriber's Note:

This text is intended for readers who cannot use the "real" (Unicode,
UTF-8) version of the file. Some adjustments have been made:

vowels with overline have been written out as am, an, em... without
further marking
the "dram" symbol is shown as [z]

The text is taken from the 1912 Cambridge edition of Caius's _Complete
Works_. The editor's general introduction says:

In this volume no attempt has been made to produce a facsimile
reprint. Even if such a design had been entertained, the great
variety of form in which the original editions were issued would
have made it impossible to carry out the re-issue with any
uniformity. Obvious misprints have been corrected, but where a
difference in spelling in the same work or on the same page--_e.g._
_baccalarius_, _baccalaureus_--is clearly due to the varying
practice of the writer and not to the printer, the words have been
left as they stood in the original. On the other hand the accents
in the very numerous Greek quotations have been corrected.

Numbers in parentheses (2, 3, 4...) were printed in the gutter; they
probably represent leaves of the 1552 original. Bracketed corrections
are from the 1912 text.

Sidenotes are shown in brackets. Superscripts are shown with ^ marks.
Typographical errors are listed at the end of the e-text.

The usual disclaimers apply. Do not try this at home.]
