Summary

When quoting classical texts it's customary to reserve Roman capitals to number books, e.g. Herodotus I.1.1 means Herodotus Histories first book, first paragraph, first sentence.
Plutarch's Moralia (Ἠθικά Ethika) is a collection of 78 essays, traditionally bundled in 14 books. Each essay has its own title; labelling them with Roman numerals is confusing and, strictly speaking, incorrect. E.g. “Sayings of Spartans” (Ἀποφθέγματα Λακωνικά Apophthegmata Laconica) is indeed the sixteenth essay, but it is in book III; there is no Moralia book XVI.
This patch removes those misleading numerals.
