Rick:

Sorry this took this long; I have been having problems with internet access
at home. So this is coming from my office.

Greek text of the Acts of the martyrs.

1. Convenient anthology:

Gustav Krueger. AUSGEWAEHLTE MAERTYRERAKTEN. Sammlung Ausgewaehltr Kirchen-
und Dogmengeschichtliche Quellenschriften. Neue Folge 3. 4. Auflage, mit
einem Nachtrag von Gerhard Ruhbach. Tuebingen: J. C. B. Mohr (Paul
Siebeck), 1965. Contains Greek and Latin texts, plus useful indices and a
good bibliography.

2. More critical editions (done from memory)

Check the ACTA SANCTORUM, edited by the Bollandists of Holland. Many volumes.

H. J. Musurillo, ACTA MARTYRUM CHRISTIANORUM. Oxford: Oxford University
Press, date not recalled. (should be in the fifties or sixties).

Ibid., ACTA MARTYRUM PAGANORUM. Oxford: OUP, similar date.

3. And check the relevant articles in in the OXFORD DICTIONARY OF THE
CHRISTIAN CHURCH and the OXFORD CLASSICAL DICTIONARY, the last in the 3rd
ed. See also the Migne PATROLOGIA LATINA and PATROLOGIA GRAECA.

Hope this gives you some help.

I am sending this also to b-greek, since some readers there (a) might be
interested in this topic, and (b) can supplement my bibliography.
