The work 'On the Months' (De Mensibus) by John Lydus was originally written in Greek. The 1827 edition by Roether is a Latin translation of that Greek text. While an English translation of the original Greek text exists (notably by Mischa Hooker), there is no evidence of an English translation of this specific 1827 Latin version. Therefore, this is a first translation from the Latin source.
