First from Latin

English translations of this work exist from another source language, but this specific text has never been translated.

Diogenes Laertius' 'Lives and Opinions of Eminent Philosophers' is a work originally written in Greek. While numerous English translations exist (such as those by C.D. Yonge, R.D. Hicks, and Pamela Mensch), these are translations from the original Greek text. The 1570 edition mentioned is a Latin translation of the Greek original. There is no evidence of an English translation specifically of the Latin text; rather, all English versions are derived from the Greek source. Therefore, this is a 'first_from_source' case.
