The Text is fully hyper-linked to the Mythological index and vice versa; three or four spot-omissions are now mended thanks to Mark Nodine's notes. To facilitate online searches the E-Text-hosted index itself is now minus diacritical markings.
Each Book is arranged in paragraphs, with each paragraph headed
by the corresponding line reference in the Latin text.
