Important sets of scholia

Greek

The most important are those on the Homeric Iliad, especially those found in the 10th-century manuscripts discovered by Villoison in 1781 in the Biblioteca Marciana in Venice (see further Venetus A, Homeric scholarship), which are based on Aristarchus and his school.[2] The scholia on Hesiod, Pindar, Sophocles, Aristophanes and Apollonius Rhodius are also extremely important.[citation needed]

Latin

In Latin, the most important are those of Servius on Virgil;[3] of Acro and Porphyrio on Horace;[4] and of Donatus on Terence.[5] Also of interest are the scholia on Juvenal attached to the good manuscript P;[6] while there are also scholia on Statius,[7] especially associated with the name Lactantius Placidus.[8]

The existence of a commercial translation is often used to distinguish between "scholia" and "commentaries". The following is a chronological list of ancient commentaries written defined as those for which commercial translations have been made:
