    附註: "The ancient Colloquia, a set of elementary language-learning materials from the Roman empire, contain fascinating information on many aspects of daily life in the Roman world, but they have long been neglected because until recently they had neither a modern edition nor a translation into any modern language. Most Classicists have never heard of them, as indeed I had not until a few years ago. But as soon as I started working on these texts I fell in love with them; I felt they had tremendous potential and wanted everyone to be able to use them, a desire that led to production of a full scholarly edition of the Colloquia with translation and detailed commentary (Dickey 2012-15). That edition contains the arguments for the editorial and interpretive decisions underpinning the work presented here. This book, by contrast, aims simply to present the Colloquia to non-specialist readers, people who would like to know what these texts tell us about ordinary life in the Roman empire and who are prepared to take my restoration and translation of the text on trust. Readers should be aware that alternative interpretations are often possible; note in particular that all words in italics are editorial additions"--Preface.
