[edit] Diyllis

Who can this be? Don't usually see a "y" on ancient names! - - - Vernon White 20:34, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] C.H. Oldfather (his opinion cited in article)

This appears to be Charles Henry Oldfather, an American Classical scholar, born 1887. No reliable reference found, except the British Library catalogue, which gives these forenames.=== Vernon White (talk) 23:22, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Yes, that sounds like the one, Oldfather is the author of the translation of Diodorus Sicilus in the Loeb Classical Library from the 1920's. I think his is the only English translation of the work made in the last century. See http://www.hup.harvard.edu/catalog/L279.html --Theranos 12:22, 19 November 2006 (UTC)

Looks like it would be worth revising the References section of this article, using Template Cite Books with Oldfather redlinked and the broken link mended. You or me? === Vernon White (talk) 16:14, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
