Letters

Dubious Authorship traditionally doubted — transmitted with Plato’s works but widely judged not to be by Plato.

Ἐπιστολαί

Thirteen letters attributed to Plato; the Seventh, with its philosophical digression, is the most defended.

This edition presents the original Greek (Burnet (OCT, 1907)) side by side with an English translation (R. G. Bury) — with click-to-parse morphology, dictionary entries, and exact Stephanus citation. 55 pages.
