  3. I am quoting Peter Motteus' translation revised by John Ozell (1719). It seems to me that although other translations may appear more accurate, Motteus' translation keeps well the rhetorical flavor of Don Quixote's speech and above all is more faithful to the syntax of the original. Names in this article are spelled in conformity with the translation.
