References

page 92 note 1 Comparisons of this fascicle with T.L.L. would be unfair to the improved standards of the recent volumes.

page 93 note 1 However, in this particular case both -eus and -aeus can be justified (Housman, art. cit. 60–1); the fact should be mentioned.

page 93 note 2 It is accidental that Lucretius and Ovid bulk so large, but not inappropriate, since both in their different ways were linguistic pioneers.

page 93 note 3 Cf. Antipolitānus, Antisthenes. In passing I must regret the decision to mark the quantities only of ‘long vowels in a metrically indeterminate position’. The effect can only be to perpetuate the perennial and deplorable confusion between vowel length and metrical quantity.

page 94 note 1 I take this opportunity of drawing the attention of the editors to my note at C.R. lxvii. 7–10, against the time when they reach ephebus.
