Review Quotes:
'One cannont too highly commend the editors, in their coverage of the miscellaneous sources. ... the book is an essential aid for researchers in all the interlocking and productive fields which relate to Late Roman, Sasanian, and Manichean history ... All the passages are cited in clear English translations, where necessary revised for the occasion or specially prepared by the editors.' - A D H Bivar, SOAS
