References

1 In a work of this kind, with countless citations and hundreds of references, typos and/or mistakes are unavoidable. For the most part, they are trivial (e.g. at p. 225 the reference to Suet. Dom. should be 11.3, not 11.2; the lemma on 63.1 should be temperaret dolori ne<u> aeternum susciperet). In the note on ergo (20.4), A. says that ‘this particle (not in H.) occurs 29x (8x, A. 1–6; 21x, A. 11–16), including 12x in A. 15, always opening the sentence’. These figures do not include the opera minora, where ergo occurs 7x. Furthermore, in A. 1–6 ergo opens the sentence only three times. All the standard works are cited in the bibliography, yet I find it odd that A. does not consistently refer to them in the commentary: PIR’s entry is given for Tigellinus at 37.1, but not for Thrasea at 20.2; in the many instances of variatio that A. discusses, I would have liked to see references to G. Sörbom (1935), which is listed in the bibliography.
