[ Reg notes: "Due to differences among editions, some readings from Aeschylus and Sophocles are described with respect to character speeches rather than line numbering. In each case, the intended division is near the center of the respective play. Notes about speeches for the two Platonic dialogues are intended only as a complement to the divisions according to Stephanus numbering, which should be consistent across any editions where it appears." ]
