English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.
The Lausiac History was originally composed in Greek. While several English translations of the Greek original exist (e.g., by W.K. Lowther Clarke, Robert T. Meyer, and John Wortley), the 1616 edition edited by Johannes Meursius is a Latin translation of the Greek text. No evidence was found that this specific Latin version by Meursius has ever been translated into English. Therefore, this is a first translation from the Latin source.
