Students asked me today, what survives in greater quantities (just straight word count), ancient Greek or Latin? Of the Ancient Greek and Roman periods, that is.
Word count, it's Greek for sure, I think. Put the Loeb's next to each other, there's a lot more green.

If you want visual proof, I just google image searched "Loeb library complete' and a surprising number of images of the full set come up where they are all together. It looks like there's maybe twice as many greens as reds.

Greek by a factor of about 10, is what's usually said.
@Twhittermarsh suggested we might have more Galen than Latin. -
Yeah, Galen alone is why I was assuming Ancient Greek but I didn’t want to be presumptuous
