According to Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche, he spent one and a half years compiling the index for a philological journal. He did this only because he had promised his teacher Friedrich Ritschl that he would find someone to carry out this work. As he could find no one else, he undertook it himself. - Slightly tanned.
