For three-quarters of the way the editor of the Letters to Atticus has Sjögren in front of him; his main business should be to apply what he can of knowledge and intelligence to materials already collected. But when he starts on the last four books he has to take new bearings.
The paradosis in these books becomes thinner. The Δ family remains, but the more valuable family Σ is often reduced to its least estimable members, R and R's close and even poorer relation, P. It is some compensation that in XIV–XVI Turnebus' reports of the Tornesianus (Zt) can be added to those of Lambinus (Z1) and Bosius (Zb and Zβ).
page 10 note 1 To save space I assume knowledge of the agreed relationships of the MSS., as most recently summarized in Mr W. S. Watt's preface to the Letters to Quintus (Oxford, 1958).
page 11 note 1 According to Moricca, Purser collated O himself. So far as I know Purser made no such claim, and I should be surprised to learn that he did anything so strenuous. His O readings seem to be a rather haphazard selection from those published by Lehmann in his De Cic. ad Att. epp. recensendis et emendandis and his appendix to Hofmann's Ausgewählte Briefe.

page 12 note 3 λ = ‘vetus codex’ in Lambinus' margin, to be identified, as I shall show elsewhere, with the Tornesianus.
page 13 note 1 Here and elsewhere I ignore some variant abbreviations (kl., kal., etc.).
