pArrian's iAnabasis of Alexanderi in seven books is the best account we have of Alexander's adult life. iIndica, i a description of India and of Nearchus's voyage therefrom, was to be a supplement. pA student of Epictetus, Arrian took notes at his lectures and published them in eight books of which we have four, iThe Discoursesi and also the iEncheiridioni or Manual of Epictetus. Both works are available in the Loeb Epictetus edition. pThe Loeb Classical Library edition of Arrian is in two volumes.p
