Loeb's "Lives of all the distinguished associates of the Twelve Caesars"

Francis

I stumbled upon it accidentally, in Suetonius' The Lives of the Caesars. These are short, dictionary-like entries on a number of Suetonius' contemporaries. They are not, as I supposed as first, written by Suetonius but a supplement appended by modern scholars to Suetonius' volume. Here is the description:

"These sketches of “the lives of all the distinguished associates of the Twelve Caesars” (cf. preface) were added for the 1889 edition of Thompson’s translation. They are by various authors: John Thomas Graves, Leonhard Schmitz, William Smith, William Ramsay, William Plate, Thomas Dyer, Alexander Thomson, William Bodham Donne, and Benjamin Jowett. The life of Agricola is abridged from Tacitus; the translator’s name is not given but may be Thomson". 

I thought I would mention it for those who may not know they have this resource hiding in their Perseus library. 

It would actually be nice if these entries could be tagged as headwords and show up in Factbook / Topic Guide.

Yes. Thank you Francis.
