Harland, removing forged sections (checking against Loeb volume) and modernizing some of the translations. (Bonus points to revisor E.H.Warmington, for eliding Heseltine's sentence there, giving readers a good idea of what is to come: the text is dotted with elision, beginning to end.)

Mr. Heseltine's style is, generally speaking, adequate, and, while consistent and thorough in expurgation, he has preserved practically all that is of real value in the, "Mr. Heseltine has a virile and attractive style, and his English is pleasant, straightforward, and readable; but his knowledge is altogether on a lower plane." Encolpius is a somewhat hapless guy -- a 'silly fool' (homo stultissime), as often as not --, and he has more than his share of moments of bad luck as he stumbles through his story (occasionally quite literally, complete with pratfalls) -- though fortune certainly also shines on him repeatedly (such as in escaping a shipwreck).

To select a specific edition, see below. The translation is less engaging than the Americans, the book itself more attractively produced. Much of the drive of the novel -- certainly in this form -- comes from how he is, intentionally or not, a somewhat wayward soul, adrift, in a way: the opening scene of debate with him and Agamemnon finds him slipping away from the crowd and immediately lost (and led then, of course, into trouble), while even at Trimalchio's fabulous feast he tries to flee but, with his young companion Giton finds: "we were victims enwound in a new labyrinth" and is soon back in the middle of Trimalchian excess. This translation by W. C. Firebaugh was originally published in 1922.
