XENOPHON'S ANABASIS AN ABRIDGED AND GRADED TEXT WITH COMMENTARY, GRAMMATICAL NOTES, REFERENCE GRAMMAR, AND DICTIONARY BY STEPHEN V. DUFFY , S.J. PUBLISHED BY JESUIT EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION NEW YORK PROVINCE HIGH SCHOOLS 1961 THIRD EDITION DESCRIPTION: Hardcover book burgundy cloth-covered boards and spine / b&w illustrations / no dust jacket / 414 pages From Preface: ..."The features of this text are its grading and selection. The Anabasis has usually been the high-school student's first classical author, but the early chapters were too difficult for the beginner's stage of proficiency. Copious grammar explanations were needed, and the Anabasis became little more than an exercise ground for grammar drill. The present graded text makes it possible for the student to read Greek at once with a sense of mastery and progress. The selection of incidents presents the whole story of the March of the Ten Thousand, not just a few scattered passages, and leaves the student with an unified impression of an absorbing Greek classic..."
