My post of yesterday on the Trojan horse set me to further searchings in re
Proklos and the cyclic poets.  As I had suspected, the *Khrestomatheia* (or
*Chrestomathia*, or *Chrestomathy*, depending upon whom one is reading)
survives not complete, but in epitome (and Photios is among the sources).
The sections on the epic cycle are apparently preserved in some Homeric MSS.
It is also disputed whether this Proklos is the fifth-century CE
Neoplatonist, or another.

For the *Khrestomatheia*, OCD3 cites an edition by A. Severyns of 1938-63.
This seems to be the following:

- Albert Severyns, *Recherches sur la Chrestomathie de Proclos* (Lie\ge :
Faculte/ de philosophie et lettres & Paris : E. Droz 1938-63)

There are four volumes, and the last (containing the texts relevant to Homer
and the Cycle) at least seems to have been published at Paris by Les Belles
Lettres, the publishers of the Bude/ series.  Other volumes may have been
too.

More helpful for fragments of the cyclic epics, however, may be the
following:

- Malcolm Davies (ed.), *Epicorum Graecorum Fragmenta* (Go+ttingen :
Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht 1988)

or

- Albertus Bernabe/ (ed.), *Poetarum Epicorum Graecorum testimonia et
fragmenta* 1 (Leipzig : Teubner 1987) [The author may also be listed in
catalogues as Alberto Bernabe/ or Alberto Bernabe/ Pajares, and there was a
second edition published in 1996.]

Apologies if this duplicates details already provided.
