page 52 note 6 Libanius, Or. xviii. 21. This is not to say, however, as Koch does, Revue beige de philologie et d'histoire, 1927, p. 125, n. 4, that Julian was already well enough educated in Latin atConstantinople: Koch presses this passage of Libanius unduly.

page 53 note 2 Ep. ad Ath. 284 d. Is his use of τριακοσιοστ⋯ς (wrongly changed toτριακοστ⋯ς by Hertlein and Wright) in the same pamphlet, 276 a, an echo of the Latin use of trecenti to denote an indefinitely large number?
page 53 note 3 Gothofredus on Cod. Theod. xi. 39. 5; and seehis n. on vi. 24. 1 for the use of Greek in Julian's laws. Greek occasionally occurs in laws issued before Julian's time, e.g. viii. 15 I.

page 53 note 6 But Ammianus, who was himself at that time learning Latin with very considerable success, may not have been very charitable to his struggling fellow-student: Julian's speeches to the army, which must have been delivered in Latin, were always very moving, cf. Hermathena, lxii, forthcoming.
