As requested by @tinebeest (for which 🙏):
Translations to Latin & Greek quotes added in [ ]
Even though Forke does actually paraphrase most quotes!
Ended up mostly using TR from @PerseusDigLib from Tufts Edu with link in note

Where, oh where have hidden the 44th chapter @tinebeest ?
Can you or anyone with the right bio confirm that the 招致 zhāozhì chapter of the Lunheng is still lost? Help in tr the title would also be very much appreciated
Somewhere noticed it was tr as "Results of moral behaviour"
