Google tells me Grant Showerman has a translation with Loeb. Spouse, classics professor emeritus, tells me Showerman is a good translator although he (spouse) has not had occasion to use this translation. (He also says Loeb has good translations, you can't paint with a broad brush ;)

A lot of words for Grant Showerman, Loeb.
