  • Lines 2.506-2.558 on the Scaife Viewer.
  • Lines 2.692-2.751 on the Perseus Digital Library. N.B. only lines 2.705-2.740 are required for the OCR GCSE.
  • Lines 2.705-2.740 on the Scaife Viewer.

  • Lines 2.768-2.794

N.B. I recommend the Perseus Digital Library because it also has vocabulary for every word. Its newer version, called the Scaife Viewer, at the time of writing, only tells you the word's grammar, which is useful but is not what it means. On the Scaife Viewer, however, you can have the entire section you desire on one page.
