Indeed! That might be edifying for all of us--raising questions, perhaps, that I was not even aware of that were lurking in the background.

For what it's worth, I have the translation by Arthur Darby Nock, which contains a lot of useful references (perhaps not as dense as Taylor's.)

I also have to give plugs for Iamblichus (On the Mysteries, especially for you diviners out there) and Proclus here (especially Elements of Theology), and of course Plato's Timaeus, which I think are useful background material, as well. Plotinus of course has the Enneads, but...well, our time in these incarnations is limited.
