Ok, I see what Robert and Mac are saying now. So you are considering the Greek
text, pages 1-47 as one sequence, and the French translation, pages 1-47, with
the following French commentary and editorial matter on pages 48-148, as
another sequence (1-148), right? I hadn't looked at it that way. Kind of back
at square one, but I'm starting to lean your way. I guess I had thought that
the duplicated numbering on the part of the publisher was just another way,
besides having the text and translation on facing pages, to drill in that the
portion of the text on one page is a translation of the same portion of the
text on the opposite page. So if considering the Greek text its own sequence,
then yes, cxciv, 47, 148 pages is the best option. I'm still going to add a 500
note stating that pages 1-47 are duplicated.
Thanks again. Now back to the weekend!

I was not aware that the 148 sequence continued the numbering of the
second 47, as opposed to beginning with 1; "47" should not be
repeated.
Wouldn't this describe the situation?
300 $acxciv, 47, 148 pages
This reflects what is in the text. The fact that the first 47 pages
of the 148 sequence has alternate text is not relevant to extent.
I think patrons can add them up! One difficulty with giving the total
is, are you including the roman numbered pages?
Also for us, the cumbersome wordy solution would require us to come up
with it in more than one language. Have pity on your European and
Asian colleagues who may be using your records please, and try avoid
cumbersome English phrases when possible.
