page 356 note 1 E.g. 39 M. 26 omit me; 79. 1 transpose nequid and inprimis; 88. 27 and 31 (stent); 92. 7 change ultra to citra; 95. 6 read indapalis cena; 96. 14 read parabis tantum; 106. 24 read with Gellius sensibus; 171. 15 change puluere mitico to polūbro mystico (po-lubrum from pc-, Gk. ῔πο, of p-situs, p-lio, etc. and lavo).

page 357 note 1 I need not add the line from Virgil, 229. 29, bis patet in praeceps tantum, to which F1 adds t, the initial of the next word in Virgil's line tendit, and F2q.s.a. (que sub auras (!)). All the MSS. end at tantum. F2 has a similar addition to another line of Virgil, 182. 28, rumpere et obductum uerbis uulgare, where F2 adds d, the initial of dolorem. A glance at Mr. Onions' critical apparatus for this line will show that the Archetype omitted dolorem.

page 357 note 2 Of course one can be more certain about F1 than F2.

page 357 note 3 It seemed to me, when I saw the Paris MS. P, that there was little possibility of -RC- having been the spelling of P1. The fact that E, a MS. so closely connected in the first two books with P, has -RG- is strong proof that this was the original spelling of P.

page 357 note 4 But not the original of F3, as Mr. Onions shows. This may have been the Archetype itself.
