I've posted a new article in the Files section discussing the location and size of Epicurus's properties - the Garden and house - in ancient Athens. Feel free to provide comments including suggestions for improvement.

Enjoy

This is an outstanding effort Don and I urge everyone to take a look at it. It took a LOT of time to put something like this together but the result really drives home an important point about the size and the location of Epicurus' working environment.

Uploaded a new version correcting the amount on p. 10 from 105 mina to 1.05 mina.
