(Stephanus pagination) A standard reference number for a section of a given Platonic dialogue, referring to a page in the 1578 translation of Plato’s dialogues by Henricus Stephanus.
- 1974: Plato [aut.] and Desmond Lee [tr.], The Republic, Translator’s Introduction, page 56 (2^nd ed. (revised); Penguin Classics; →ISBN
  The Republic is traditionally divided into ten books. But this division, as has often been pointed out, was dictated rather by the technicalities of book-production in the ancient world, the amount that would go on to a papyrus roll, than by the sequence of the argument. The division into parts and sections in this translation attempts to represent the structure of the argument more nearly. The traditional division into books and the Stephanus numbers and letters (see p. 5) are given in the margin for purpose of reference.
