Thanks Mark. Nicely read again, but just 2 things requiring attention.

0:25s At the beginning, the proper title of this section is The Strategems, Book II, part IV), and not (as read) 'The Aqueducts...' (There's also a Book II, part IV in the Aqueducts, which would make for confusion)

Your end silence is rather too long at almost 8 secs. Could you cut it down and make it 5 secs instead, please? A bit over is fine, but nearly 8 is not.
I'll PL your other section in the next couple of days.

Newly uploaded:

Section 9 (13:48)

Section 10 (15:27)

Fixed the intro on both, and shortened silence at end of 9.

Are we talking about different things? I've listened to the Intro on both, and the same error of Section Title still appears in both of them. eg, in Section 10, ~ 0:25.5 you say The Aqueducts of Rome, Book 2, Part V", whereas it should be The Stratagems Book II, Part V, just as it appears in the Magic Window column. These sections have nothing whatsoever to do with Aqueducts.
Section 10 is otherwise fine.

I was reading directly from the instructions, which say " "The Stratagems and The Aqueducts of Rome, by Frontinus. Translated by Charles Bennett. [Name of work]. Book [number]. Part [number]" For example: "The Stratagems and The Aqueducts of Rome, by Frontinus. Translated by Charles Bennett. The Aqueducts of Rome. Book 2. Part 1."

I see what you're talking about now. This means all the other readings I've done here have the same error.

I see now too. That was just an example, and I used the Aqueducts as an example, but your sections are from the Stratagems. I am sorry it became confusing :(

Thank you so very much for rectifying all of these Mark, I really appreciate it and apologise very much that I missed this issue earlier. I've rechecked 6, 7 and 9, and they are all PL OK now.
The other 3 sections (10 - 13) uploaded, I will recheck over the coming few days.

Leni, note I also went back and checked the other Stratagems readings already marked as PL OK - none have it, which is great.
Again, sorry Mark. Your readings are great and usually require very little in the way of PL, which is always much appreciated.
regards

Thank you very much for this. Apologies it has taken me a little while to be able to PL it.
It is very nicely read, at a good pace. I enjoyed listening to you read.
I only have one small issue:
~ 4:00 something odd happens to the word 'at' in the phrase 'sunk at the point', so I had to replay it several times to catch the meaning.
Roger that. I will get this re-uploaded between today and tomorrow. Thanks for the catch, I'd hate to have that stay in 8-)

Section 16 ready.

I noticed that there was nothing in the instructions to say something like "end of book4," or "end of The Stratagems." I didn't record an ending, but can edit if it was meant to be in there.
Othewise, I'm off to the next book.

Cheers, all.
