I would like to note that, after receiving and checking the proofs from the printers, one after another, in early 2019, I sent most of the following corrections and all the new additions with a 2019 date source in this supplement, to the publishers in repeated emails between March and September 2019. Unfortunately Zero books suffered from numerous mail server problems and my emails with text and images were not received, and the contents not implemented in GRPC. Some later corrections were kindly supplied by Andrew Burnett and Daniela Williams.

They returned to Corinth in ca. AD 40.) and Nemean.
