Quid in hac Euripideæ Hecubæ editione præstare conatus sim, paucis exponam. Nihil hie exquisiti aut reconditi expectandum: tironum usibus hæc opella potissimum destinata est.
Primum hoc operam dedi, ut textus, si non omnino emendatus, plerisque saltern eeteris editionibus purior exhiberetur. Deinde editoris officium esse judicavi, nihil, nisi monito lectore, novare; præsertim, si qua ex conjectura lectio admittenda videretur. Quocirca editionis Aldinae lectionem semper memoravi, nisi forte paucis in locis, quæ ad communem errorum fontem pertinerent, cujusmodi est Dorismus iste μάτηρ pro μάτηρ, et terminationis ι sive ιν additio vel detractio.

Quotiescunque Euripidis loca ab antiquo quopiam scriptore cum varietate lectionis laudari memineram, sedulo monui. Hujus rei insigne exemplum reperies versu 568.
