Who is this "Henri de Valois" who supposedly compiled Dio Cassius fragments? Is this a member of the French royal house, or someone unrelated? john k 05:17, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Needs general language cleanup
This is a good article, but much of it seems as though it was written by someone for whom English is a second language (no offense intended). I cleaned up some of it, including sentence structure, grammar, spelling, punctuation, and incorrect vocabulary; however, I don't know enough about the subject so I can't change too much without risking changing the content in a factually incorrect way. For example, I don't know if the Monk's work is actually an "abridgement" of what previously existed, or if the author of this article meant to state that the Monk created an "addendum," or what. Also, the style of some the writing needs to be changed. For example, in disucssing what remains of the books in modern times, the author states, "We have remaining..." I fixed several to read, "Today there remains..." to avoid using 1st person tense for verbs. Any help from someone who understands both the subject matter AND proper written grammar would be great.
