Arrian wrote in Greek and the title of his work (in Greek) is "Anabasis Alexandru". This has been Latinized to the form "Anabasis Alexandri so often encountered but not correct in either Latin or Greek. Before invoking the "Google Test" for either form please consider note that Wikipedia sindrome kicks in for the second form; many hits for Anabasis ALexandru are from WIkipedia mirrors.
There isn't really a commonly used English title for the work. Loeb translates as "Anabasis of Alexander" [1], Oxford University Press calls it "History of Alexander" [2] and so on.
Per the old maxim "Latina Latine, Graeca Graece" this should be at its Greek title. 82.26.170.64 16:22, 5 February 2006 (UTC)Reply
As per the research above and the sources listed on this page itself, "Anabasis of Alexander" is not remotely this thing's common name.
Right now, History of AlexanderorThe History of Alexander still is, but the scholarly consensus seems to be shifting to Arrian's AnabasisorAnabasis (Arrian). Any of those is preferable to wasting space in an already cluttered lead on a form of the name few people actually use. — LlywelynII 05:27, 10 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
