Stephanus pagination
Stephanus pagination is the name for the pagination (page numbering ) of the three -volume edition of Plato's works, the printer Henri Estienne ( Henricus Stephanus Latinized ) published in 1578 in Geneva.
The output
The output of Stephen, titled Platonis opera quae extant omnia ( " Complete Works of Plato, which are preserved " ), was not the first edition ( editio princeps) of Plato's works; this was in 1513 published by Aldo Manuzio in Venice. Stephanus ' edition is based mainly on the Aldine; He also drew on the 1534 Basel edition printed first and the second Basel edition of 1556. The output of Stephen remained for a long time - until the early 19th century - significantly. Your text took over the Societas Bipontina whose Editio Bipontina ( " Zweibrücker output " ) Plato appeared from 1781 to 1787. After the page numbering of Stephanus ' edition Plato's works are cited today.
Each of the three volumes of Stephanus ' edition has its own continuous pagination; therefore a point in Plato is determined only by the specification of both the work title and the Stephanus page exactly. The pressure has two columns; right is the original Greek text, left a prepared specially for this edition Latin translation of Jean de Serres ( Johannes Serranus ), respectively. In the middle between the two columns are the five characters a, b, c, d and e, which each column is divided into five sections.
Citation
Citations Plato according to the following convention: First - often abbreviated - the respective work called Title. Often the title after the abbreviations of the LSJ or the "New Pauly " must be specified. Then follows the indication of the Stephen - side with the letters a, b, c, d or e of the respective portion of the page. If it is to be referred to very accurately follows the letter or a number which indicates the line (each of the five sections of a page has its own line count ). This line count refers to the rows of the critical edition of the Oxford Classical Texts Plato, who comes from John Burnet and was first released in the years 1900-1907. Burnet's edition does not have a page count, but is tied to the Stephanus pagination.

The Halcyon dialogue ( " Kingfisher " ), which is certainly spurious, can not be cited in the Stephanus pagination, since it is missing in the edition of Stephanus. The Plato attributed epigrams, of which only one may be authentic, Stephen has not added to its output.
