A receipt records what the house consulted and what it did not establish. The open state is part of the record, not a defect in it.

Shuckburgh, The Histories of Polybius, 2 vols (Macmillan, 1889); Musaicum Books ebook, 2018license: public-domain (US: the translation is pre-1890 by the epub's own front matter — its preface opens 'This is the first English translation of the complete works of Polybius', carries the dedication 'TO F.

What this shows

Thucydides, History of the Peloponnesian War (Crawley; 917 chapter-unit episodes == the canon's 917, 204,102 tokens); Xenophon, Hellenica (Dakyns; 38 chapter-unit episodes == canon, 107,149 tokens); Xenophon, Anabasis (Dakyns; 51 chapter-unit episodes == canon, 88,259 tokens); Polybius, The Histories (Shuckburgh; 1252 chapter-unit episodes across 37 surviving books, complete books I-V == canon, 402,985 tokens). Licenses verified at STAGE 0 from each source's own front matter (all four translations are 19th-century, pre-1930 US publications; every later ebook packaging — Dover 2017, e-artnow 2019, Musaicum 2018 — is excluded from serving). Deterministic per-book extraction profiles (ops/pipeline/profile_*.py) with canon count-validation: Thucydides 917 chapters and Xenophon 38+51 chapters equal their canons exactly; Polybius' complete books I-V equal the canon exactly and its fragmentary books are served strictly in the edition's own numbering with every gap recorded (books XVII and XIX are not served — the one lost in the tradition, the other printed without chapter numbers). The shelf's Thucydides epub was retired for serving after a committed probe (thucydides-dover.probe.json); serving came from the pinned Perseus TEI of the same Crawley 1910 Dent edition. Episode membership rides episode.receipt_id = receipt:corpus-w7.

What this does not prove
  • The served voices are the Victorian translations (Crawley 1874 for Thucydides, Dakyns 1890s for both Xenophon works, Shuckburgh 1889 for Polybius), not the Greek; original_text is NULL (no alignment is fabricated).
  • Thucydides fidelity is to the Perseus digital edition at the pinned commit (perseus-eng6), not to any manuscript; Perseus' own transcription errors, if any, are served as published. The shelf's Dover epub of the same 1910 Dent text was probed and RETIRED for serving (no canonical numbers printed; paragraphing merges/splits the canon) — it remains the shelf's reference copy.
  • The Xenophon and Polybius texts are ebook transcriptions (e-artnow/PG-calibre/Musaicum), not page scans — transcription errors are served as found; one PG-transliterated Greek quotation (An. 7.5) is served as the transcription prints it.
  • Dakyns's translator footnotes are stripped (Hellenica end-of-chapter blocks; Anabasis inline note blocks with their matched '(n)' markers removed); his marginal 'B.C. <year>' datings print INLINE in these transcriptions and are served as printed — the translator's apparatus voice inside the episode text.
  • The Polybius ebook nowhere names its translator; the Shuckburgh 1889 identification rests on the edition's own preface, dedication and internal dating (recorded on the source row) — the lane's bibliographic judgment, not the edition's statement.
  • Polybius episodes are the edition's numbered chapters only: Shuckburgh's marginal summaries, fragment headings and unnumbered connecting fragments are not served (per-book word counts of unserved fragment prose are recorded in polybius.works.json); books XVII and XIX are not served; chapter gaps within fragmentary books are the manuscript tradition's, as printed; three chapter anchors were reconciled against the edition's printed numerals (16.22a class, recorded).
  • Episodes are chapter-unit (Thuc./Xen. Hell./Xen. An./Plb. book.chapter); section-level subdivisions are not carried.
  • Episode token counts are whitespace word counts, not linguistic tokens.
