It would come in handy for a student's report, but I can't seem to lay my hands on a translation. Robin Lane Fox claims that this dialogue "suggests, like nothing else, what educated readers were prepared to enjoy without altogether disbelieving, while the Christian 'contagion' was the faintest of stains in the pagan cities" ("Pagans & Christians," p. 144). A Teubner appeared in 1977. Also, are the Loeb folks ever planning to get around to Aelius Aristides' "Hieroi Logoi"? I know that a translation does exist, but a Loeb text and trans. would be very handy at long last. David Lupher Classics Program Univ. of Puget Sound .
