How to use it

Pick two entries and a unit in the top row. The three boxes below stay linked. Change any box and the other two update. One box holds a count of the first book lines, one holds the matching count of the second book, one holds total lines. Try 1 Book 12 against Book 4 to see the long to short ratio.

Aeneid books split into two halves. Books 1 to 6 track wanderings from Troy to Italy. Books 7 to 12 track war in Latium. Line numbers hold steady across Fairclough Loeb and Oxford print texts. English translations keep the same Latin numbers for reference. Page counts shift by edition and stay out of the table.
