Overall time is 17:31.

attn PL:

(i) at 8:09 to 8:40, p. 20, l. 7-8: The text "the God of nature ... most excellent" is read as specified in the Correction page following p. 499

(ii) at 14:22, p. 23, l. 5 from below: "change" is obviously a misprint for "chance", which I have read

Regards,
Lektor

Lektor, thank you for the "heads up" - the reading was beautifully done!

Here are sections 15 and 16
There are some real tounge twisters in this one. Also, the geography sections are not too interesting- just a list of place names.

Yes, I totally agree. I have been thinking of claiming myself some of the sections, to see if I can speed these books. Actually, the first books of Pliny aren't the most interesting. But I thought it would be kind of strange to start the project with books 30-31.

We'll get there.... eventually.

Thanks, OTR!
