Dio Chrysostom or “golden mouth” (ca. 40–115 CE) was many things—rhetorician, orator, philosopher, historian, moralist as well as enemy and friend of Roman Emperors. He was a prime representative of the “Second Sophistic” movement. His command of the Greek language was Atticizing; his eighty extant discourses are a treasure trove of Greco-Roman cultural mores, lifestyle, religion, and ideology. Preeminent among these discourses are the first four of the collection—The Kingship Orations—written for the emperor Trajan. Within this Tier 5 Advanced Greek Reader of the AGROS series, the Greek text of Kingship Oration 1 is provided on the left page with glosses for Greek words occurring less than thirteen times in the Greek New Testament provided in footnotes. On the following page is space for composing one’s own translation and at the bottom a new English translation is provided for comparison. This is an ideal resource for self-study or classroom use. Features of this book include: • An Introduction to Dio Chrysostom’s Kingship Orations with a select bibliography; • A succinct discussion of the most salient features of Dio’s Greek; • A summary of the Constituent Marking Method for navigating the Greek text; • The Greek text of the first Kingship Oration with ample spacing and footnoting glosses for Greek words occurring less than thirteen times in the Greek New Testament; • On the opposite page, space for taking notes and making a translation and, at the bottom of the page, a fresh new translation of Kingship Oration 1; • An Appendix of Greek words occurring thirteen times or more in the Greek New Testament.
