Summary
The Greek in Suetonius is a vivid, multifaceted and at present under-exploited resource and one that helpfully extends the parameters of this volume. In terms of chronology and thematic content, the Suetonian corpus sits squarely with the others we consider, but the dimensions of its code-switching are unique.
