Latin:
Many ancient cultures adopted Greek science to some degree, none more so than the
Latins. More works of science survive in Latin than in any other non-Greek language, only
a small number of which are mere translations: Index A (188 entries, over 9%).
In addition, people whose ethnicity appears to be Latin (based on bearing a wholly Latin
name) wrote works of science in Greek, in numbers larger than for any other non-Greek
group: Index B (154 names). In the latter list, up to 71 of the people named may have
written in Latin, but we lack evidence that would allow certainty; moreover, the later the
date the more likely that a “Latin” name was no longer exclusively Latin.
