What it is about
The first four books of the Anabasis: the battle of Cunaxa and the march up to the sight of the sea.
Context and history
A school edition: these four books were the canonical text for teaching Greek, which is why they circulated separately. **Not a distinct work** — a part of the Anabasis. Note: the catalogue carries the Anabasis in more than one version — complete, the first four books, and another English translation — plus the modern Greek volume. Say which edition you are citing, and better still the book and chapter.
Editorial context, not a citable source: unlike the passages of the work itself, these statements cannot be checked against the corpus.

Of Darius[1] and Parysatis were born two sons,[2] the elder Artaxerxes,[3] and the younger Cyrus. After Darius had fallen sick, and suspected that the end of his life was approaching, h
