Extract

Fuhrmann's work on the manuscripts of Anaximenes', finally made public in his Teubner text (Leipzig, 1966), has left the ground clear for critical operations. A solid start was made by Spengel and Kayser (for references to their contributions, and to those of other scholars, see Fuhrmann, pp. xlvi–xlviii, whose abbreviations are used below); but that there are still serious flaws in the text has recently been shown by R. Kassel (Philologus 1967, 122–6). The main purpose of the following notes is to air difficulties, some afresh, some for the first time.

The second example is apt, the first not, because the author is discussing not outright illegality, which falls within the compass of TO, but two ways of bringing within the compass ofacts that are not expressly illegal. Deletion of the first example must therefore be considered. It should not be thought, however, that there is anything wrong with the asyndetic coupling of two examples that both lead off with(cf. p. 10. 9–11).
