'a long-awaited contribution to Polybian scholarship, as it focuses on the historian's language and style and opens up this difficult text to those in need of more direction.'The fact that this volume was used to and is intended to teach from is clear from the presentation of Polybius' original text.  The Greek is printed in a clear and easily readable font, the number of the passages are presented at the top of each page, and the individual passage numbers within the text are highlighted in bold for ease of identification.'... it will open doors to the teaching, analysis and reception of Polybius. It will hopefully be the impetus for further linguistic commentaries on Polybius' work, and the start of a new direction in the teaching of post-classical koinê Greek.'Emma Nicholson, University of Exeter
