2 T. translates all quoted Greek and Latin passages; the translation of this passage in particular (p. 73) is somewhat inaccurate (e.g. ‘implies’ for ait; ‘we shall apply’ for utimur; quasi is here not ‘as if’, but ‘on the ground that’, a standard legal usage).

9 T.'s brief discussion of Pliny's relationship with the jurists (p. 3; cf. pp. 140–2) does not do justice to the complexity and importance of the subject.
