Cambridge The University Press 1904.. This is either the third printing, as the publisher states, or the second printing of the second edition, as the author states. It is in any case a book in the original Greek: "In preparing these two dialogues for the press, I have used the text of Dindorf (1858), without any alterations in the Menippus, and with only a few in the Timon, duly noted. A few sentances have been omitted in Timon # 16, 17, as being scarcely suitable for class translation.". With Notes to each dialogue, and Index. . Originalleinen

Though his Mother tongue was likely Syriac, his works are in ancient Greek and then, secondarily, Latin.
