I am looking for a free online copy of Diophantus' Arithmetica as well as Fermat's Notes on it. After some google searching, I couldn't find any. Thanks for your help!
Edit: English translation please, I'm still learning Latin.

In which language? In English see this previous question for a translation of Arithmetica. This claims to be a translation of Fermat's notes, but I cannot attest to its authenticity. – Willie Wong Aug 17 '16 at 16:39

archive.org has several versions. Here's one:

Also note this book in paperback (ISBN-10: 1578987547) can be purchased for around $15 on either Amazon or Abebooks.

Thanks for the review. I would say, in this case, I could only provide a link. Alternatively, I could of said check archive.org for Heath's Diophantus and make sure it is second edition (1910). – Oct 08 '17 at 02:43

You are correct---the review queue tends to obfuscate context that would have made that easier to spot. Sorry about that. – Xander Henderson Oct 08 '17 at 14:54
