Robert Ranulph Marett, Obituary: Mr. R. D. Hicks. A Blind Aristotelian Scholar (1929)
“ It is a revision, undertaken with the sanction and help of Susemihl himself, to which Hicks added a large amount of original matter. In 1925 appeared his text and translation of Diogenes Luertius in the Loeb Classical Library, in which he acknowledges the help of, among others, his brother-in-law, Sir Thomas Heath.The patience and cheerfulness of the blind scholar were amazing. For the use of fellow-sufferers he produced in 1921, a concise Latin dictionary in Braille type. He was often to be met walking in the country on the arm of a companion, and he dined regularly in Hall. ”
