page 79 note 1 P2 in Liyy's third decade is such an irresponsible, ignorant meddler who writes a self-satisfied ‘recognobi’ after each book, but it is a problem where he got his right corrections from, if they are his.
page 79 note 1 Shipley's Certain Sources of Corruptions in Latin MSS. is a very useful guide for the passage from uncials to Caroline.
page 80 note 1 Cf. Preface to vol. 2 of Liv. 6–10, when it is published!
page 80 note 2 In the Medicean of the first decade of Livy marginal supplements are often far above or below the right place; evidently the scribe found them in the margin with or without marks for reinsertion.
page 81 note 1 I have discussed some of the first decade in the Preface of the forthcoming vol. 2.
page 82 note 1 For S's lines see below.
page 82 note 2 In the Medicean of 1–10 there are two distortions of the text, probably due to the displacement of quaternions in the predecessor of M similarly in O a quaternion appears to be lost after 4. 30. 14
page 82 note 3 This is P's way: he does not call unnecessary attention to his mistakes and he does not like to mess his beautiful parchment; when he repeats half a word from a line above he quietly goes on as if nothing had happened (I am not sure that the larger repetitions are not corrected by him); Vindob. seems much the same.
page 82 note 4 See Class. Quart. XI (1917), pp. 154 ff., ‘The Codex Agenensis and Valla.’
page 83 note 1 (München. Cod. Lat., 23491). The late A. H. Kyd copied this remaining (if it does remain now) folio of S entirely out for me shortly before his lamented death.
page 83 note 2 As A. H. Kyd, who sent me notice and readings of these fragments, pointed out, this was due to the essent, with which Ρ ends both lines.
