Though I do not really understand why book iv of Apollonius' Conics has not
hitherto been translated into English, the list may be interested to know
that a doctoral student at Penn State (Diana Rhodes), on whose committee I
am presently serving, is doing just such a translation (and commentary) as
her dissertation. Hopefully it will be ready in another year or two.
