ClarkTranslation: D. Berry, Cicero: Political Speeches (Oxfords
World Classics) (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2006); also in
Loeb edn, or Bohn Classical Library (C.D. Yonge) on
Perseus.Commentaries: there is a 1966 schools edition by C.
MacDonald, published by Macmillan, and a much older schools edition
by A.S. Wilkins, also published by Macmillan (1880, repr.
1960).
For Cicero letters, the Greats prescription is derived from a
published selection based upon the OCT with very useful
commentary:How, W.W. 1925-26 / 1934 / 1965. Cicero: Select Letters
/ with historical introductions, notes and appendices. Oxford:
Clarendon Press.However, all earlier editions of the letters have
now been superseded by the editions of D. R. Shackleton Bailey,
first published as text only with extensive commentary in multiple
volumes by Cambridge University Press, and then as text and
translation in the Loeb Classical Library series, and text in the
Teubner series. For commentary see How or Shackleton Bailey. For
translations, see the new Loebs of Shackleton Bailey. The
difficulty comes with the fact that Shackleton Bailey renumbered
and reordered the letters (to reflect actual chronology more
closely); the vulgate edition, cited in the form: book.letter
(roman numeral.arabic numeral), which is still the form in which
the letters are most commonly cited, is now replaced by a
continuous numbering sequence in arabic numerals (commonly preceded
by SB to indicate the enumeration of Shackleton Bailey).
Concordances can be found at the end of each of the sets of Loebs
(ad Atticum, ad Familiares, ad Quintum fratrem). A concordance for
