Does anyone know of a page that lists all, or at least the more recent/recommended critical edition for ancient texts?
I thought about this while searching for the Discourses [Diatribai] of Epictetus. If anyone happens to know about that one, I’d be grateful.

I have the Budé edition edited by Joseph Souhilé. I think the first edition was 1943.
Are there any critical editions of Xenophon that have surpassed Marchant’s OCT? My guess is (it’s merely a guess) that some of the smaller writings of X. like Equitum magister may lack newer editions, but perhaps Anabasis or Institutio Cyri, for instance, have since been reedited?
Thank you seneca.
Timothée, whatever info I have confirms that. A while ago I read a fairly recent (2012) Italian study on X.'s Hiero, and the reference is still Marchant.
Thank you, ανφφ. This is valuable information for me. (Sorry for writing your name like this, but it’s difficult for me to resist, as it is Greek!)
The best text of the Memorabilia is the Budé. For the Anabasis it may still be Marchant, though I can’t say for sure. The manuscript situation hasn’t significantly changed, apart from fragmentary ancient manuscripts that show (as usual) that the medieval tradition is less good than has generally been thought. You might check the Budé, but with Xenophon I don’t think it will make much difference what text you use.
This is interesting and helpful, thank you mwh.
