LOL. The "thou" test. I think I've used similar tests on other works in translation.
I taught myself a tiny bit of Latin awhile ago, probably not enough to make side-by-side texts all that illuminating. Looks like Loeb is a multi volume set? I may turn that down in favor of a cheaper single book. After doing a little browsing, I guess I'm trying to decide between Allen Mandelbaum (1995) and Charles Martin (2005). If you have anything that may sway my opinion, I'm all ears (or eyes, as it were). Otherwise, I'll open the books at random and see which sounds nicer.
