Evagoras Evaporated
I finally found Isocrates' Evagoras in my Perseus collection, sort of. As can be seen from the screenshot below, this is not the book, but a sort of commentary:
Question: what happened there? Did Logos mistakenly digitalize the commentary instead of the actual speeches (this BTW, is found in the Cyprian Orations, speech 3)?

Logos didn't digitalize anything of this, but received a data feed from the university offering the Perseus stuff on the web. Did you look up the Perseus Isocrates document on the internet? Maybe it's wrong there, too - or there are two documents and the process bringing this to Logos had a hiccup with this.
Have joy in the Lord!

The text is definitely there on Perseus:
http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Isoc.+9&fromdoc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.01.0144
I don't know what happened but the question is whether it is fixable or, whether considering that the collection is free, we get what we get.

I do think that it needs to be fixed because the Perseus library is featured as part of Noet libraries and provides an expectation of the content it advertises. It can also induce FL staff in error, misled by the title that says it is available, when in fact, it is not as it is.

I would suggest cross-posting in the Noet forum.

This is a different text from the one we have. This is the Isocrates Evagoras, which we do not have, whereas the text in question, which we do have, is the Isocrates Cyprian Orations (English) (http://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus%3Atext%3A1999.04.0089%3Aspeech%3D9%3Asection%3D1-4)
We do not have a license for everything on the Perseus website.

The Evagoras is part of the Cyprian Orations.

If you click the link I provided, and the one from you I quoted you'll see they are different. We have a license for the one that you are seeing in your library and not the other.
