Atalante,

Erick, using the Bury translation, seems to say that the geography of Ancient Athens is not decribed by Plato.

I never said, stated, wrote, suggested, or implied any such thing. Please re-read my postings.

Is it true that the Jowett and Bury tranlations DISAGREE about whether Plato described the geographical borders of Ancient Athens?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Absolutely not. Both translations have been performed on the exact same text and therefore cover the exact same material. The only difference between the two are the English words by which each translator chose to express that material.

Warm Regards,

Erick
