ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Lost Histories is based on a paper—shorter and rather
different—that was originally delivered at Cambridge,
Newcastle, Penn State and Stanford; I am very grateful for
these invitations to speak and for the comments I received on
each occasion and especially to S. M. Wheeler. For reading
and commenting on earlier drafts I am also most grateful to J.
N. Adams, S. Bartera, T. J. Cornell, J. D. Dillery, C. S. Kraus,
J. L. Moles, T. P. Wiseman and especially E. A. Meyer. I owe
an immense debt of gratitude to Tim Cornell for his great
generosity in providing me with a pre-publication typescript of
The Fragments of the Roman Historians, which both provided the
stimulus for my discussion and greatly facilitated its writing; the
Appendix at the end of the discussion consists largely of some
of the various notes and suggestions which I submitted to his
editorial team by way of acknowledgement. Finally I thank the
Editors of Histos for accepting this discussion for publication,
and their anonymous reader for numerous helpful comments.

III. References
References to historiographical fragments will be to FRHist
wherever possible (sometimes further identified by the addition
of ‘C’), otherwise to Peter or to the most convenient edition
(thus Jal for Livy, whose fragments are not included in FRHist).
As a general rule I have kept doxography to a minimum, since
FRHist contains extensive bibliographies on each of the
historians treated there.
