- Abstract
- en_US Pleasing rhymed couplets, in which Davies succeeds in his effort to keep the fables terse. This translation is mentioned in Perry's Babrius and Phaedrus (lxxii). It is the first translation into English after the great manuscript discoveries of Babrius and the publication of editions in Paris in 1844, Berlin in 1845, and Oxford in 1846. There are 129 fables in the first part here and 95 in the second. The second part is done apparently from an 1859 edition of the second part of Babrius by Lewis and may have a number of questionable texts. Perry's edition of Babrius contains only 143 fables in all. There are notes to all the fables on 223-31. Some pages are uncut.
