Greek works, source by source

The Greek series needs saying work by work: Migne prints a Latin translation beside the Greek, and this edition translates from the Greek while using that Latin column only as a check.

Joel, Chronographia compendiaria

PG 139, 223–288

Greek text Calfa Patrologia Graeca OCR corpus (CC BY 4.0)

Latin verifier Leo Allatius's Latin version (1651), printed in Migne's parallel column; scan OCR in raw/scans/pg139/

Column numbers

Column references throughout follow the original Migne plates, not the Garnier reprints, whose columns differ. A citation such as migne.app/pl/139/473a resolves against the original.
