Abbreviations of names of Greek and Latin authors and works should in general follow the most recent edition of the Oxford Classical Dictionary.

6. Contributors should provide translations of all Latin and Greek, apart from single words or short phrases.

7. Most period designations should be lower-cased, e.g. ancient Greece, late antiquity. Archaeological and historical periods, however, should be capitalized, e.g. Bronze Age, Augustan era. Terms such as "classical" or "archaic" are only capitalized when referring to the archaeological or historical period, e.g. Archaic period vs. classical sculpture.

8. The number of centuries or millennia should be written in full, e.g. fourth century BC, as should all numerical dates, e.g. AD 12 – 16.

10. Greek text should use New Athena Unicode.

The cost of the additional half-page plates/ illustrations is $12 each, of the additional full-page plates/illustrations $20 each.
