Paul Potter...has brought to his task his considerable philological skills. He has done much more than produce excellent--that is, accurate and readable-- translations. Not only has he engaged in extensive study of the manuscript traditions of all six treatises...but he has also examined and collated the available extant manuscripts of the other three treatises, thus producing a critical text for each.
