Xenophon, Memorabilia, trans. E. C. Marchant (Loeb, 1923; public domain in the US). Digital text: Perseus Digital Library, Tufts University. Licensed under CC BY-SA 3.0 US (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/us/). Source: https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/
- CC BY-SA 3.0 US distinguishes a 'Collective Work' (the work 'in unmodified form' assembled with separate and independent works; 'will not be considered a Derivative Work') from a 'Derivative Work' (translation, 'abridgment, condensation', or other recasting; SA applies). Quote verbatim, clearly marked, with the Perseus notice and license link, and keep our prose separate: SA then does not reach our notes.
- The underlying translation/edition is PD in the US, so a faithful transcription adds little or no copyright of its own; the BY-SA notice is still shown because we took the wording from Perseus.
- Alternative that avoids BY-SA entirely: quote the PD translation from a scan of the printed Loeb volume and cite the printed edition (the ShareAlike attaches only to Perseus's digitization). The XML download carries an extra request to offer Perseus any modifications.
- Public-domain status is for the US (publication before 1931). The site should be US-hosted; status elsewhere is noted only where checked.
