@Danaus:
Hm, you think you can find errors in the tradition of the greek text by
examining the Latin translation?
Have you found some errors? Can you demonstrate an example?
This would be interesting.

It's amazingly similar to the Bury transaltion.  Here is a comparison in a Word Document, so you can judge for yourself:
http://gizacalc.freehostia.com/Library/Plato/Timaeus%20-%20Calcidius%20Blitz%20Latin%20vs.%20Bury%20.doc

Since we are comparing 8 editions here, I thought a 9th would be a good idea.

Anyways, there are a couple of Sentences in Bury that do not appear in Calcidius, and a couple of phrases that appear in Calcidius that do not appear in Bury.  Also in the Calcidius, that are a couple of times Socrates responds to Critias saying: "That is True", that do not appear in the Bury version, and vice-versa.

A couple of the new things that appear are:

Timaeus "[21e]...the Saitian word called it Asty" -- Calcidius
-- "there is a certain district called the Saitic" -- Bury
******
"[25b] accordingly the third of the borne universe" -- Calcidius
-- Missing from Bury

********
Additionally, I found an extra word in the digby Calcidius codex, when looking up the 25b statement, which Atalante might find interesting.

"obtinentium maximaeque parti continentis [tte] dominantium, siquidem tertiae mundi parti, quae Libya dicitur, usque ad Aegyptum imperarunt, Europae uero usque ad Tyrrhenum mare."

In the second line on this page, there is a "tte" (tertiae) before dominantium in this digby codex.
