What's the best translation for Marcus Aurelius's "Meditations"?

>> No.4951590

Is this a good edition?

I've read the Gregory Hays translation and though it was clear and easy to understand. I haven't read any other to compare with though but I would recommend the Hays book.

I have the Penguin Great Ideas edition (translated by Maxwell Staniforth) and I like it. Looks nice, too.

(the background is white and the text is debossed)
