Karl Andreas Duker (1670-1752), classical philologist and jurist. Duker studied law and classical philology in Harderwijk and Franeker, earning a doctorate in Law. He taught History and Rhetoric in Herborn, The Hague, and later became Professor in Utrecht. His legal scholarship includes studies on Roman legal Latin and an edition of Justinian's Institutiones. As a philologist, he published critical editions and commentaries on authors such as Thucydides, Livy, Florus, and Aristophanes. DB

Joseph Wasse (1672-1738), classical philologist and clergyman. Educated at Cambridge, Wasse assisted Ludolph Küster in his edition of Suidas (1705), and in 1710 published a critical edition of Sallust. ODNB

Duker and Wasse's Latin version reworks Hudson's, itself a revision of Emilio Porto's, who had corrected Henri Estienne's adaptation of Lorenzo Valla's translation – see Hudson 1696, Porto 1594, Estienne 1564 and Valla 1452. Their work includes an extensive apparatus of notes on the text, drawing heavily on the annotations of Estienne, Hudson, and other sholars.
