page 296 note 1 This, however, even if for the sake of argument Corinna is allowed to have been an historical individual, cannot include the inference that she was married to an old man (p. 48 and n. 126), which rests on a complete misunderstanding of Am. i. 13. 41–42. And, whatever allowances may be made for the sake of argument, it is going rather too far to use Am. i. 8. 91 to show that she had a sister (ibid.).

page 297 note 1 They are: (1) that Ovid was exaggerating and that the last six books existed only in draft; (2) that he destroyed them before leaving Rome; (3) that his literary executors destroyed them; (4) that they perished accidentally.

page 297 note 2 It contains the statement that Scaliger advanced a hypothesis in 1798.
