Text in Latin and Greek
Arrian of Nicomedia (Greek: Αρριανός Arrianos; Latin: Lucius Flavius Arrianus; c. 86/89 – c. after 146/160 AD) was a Greek historian, public servant, military commander, and philosopher of the Roman period.
His Periplus of the Euxine Sea is a guidebook detailing the destinations visitors encounter when traveling about the shore of the Black Sea. Ektaxis kat Alanon, refers to the nature and discipline of the Roman army against the Alans and contains very important information about the way of living and the of Roman soldiers in the provinces (written in 137, when Arrian was still commander in Cappadocia) and in Ars Tactica Arrian's considerable experience in war tactics and strategy is revealed (mainly contains Arrian's knowledge of the military methods followed by the Romans and Greeks). He was a pupil of Epictetus around 108 AD and the Encheiridion is a short compendium or handbook of all Epictetus' philosophical principles.
Johannes Janssonius van Waesberghe (Rotterdam, 1616 – Amsterdam, 1681) was a Dutch printer, publisher and bookseller, active in Utrecht, Breda, Amsterdam and Gdańsk.
