1 In trying to discover when our MS. came into the possession of the Earl of Oxford, I found the following entry in Wanley's Diary under Nov. 24, 1725 (with reference of course to Drakenborch's Harleianus Prior and Posterior) ‘Mr. Casley came to collate my Lord's MSS. of Titus Livius for Mr. D'Orville by my Lord's order. I am civill to him, but when just now he offrd me a South Sea Bond as security to lett him carry one of the said MSS. home to collate it there, I would by no means hearken to such a proposal’

In an earlier entry ‘Dr. Bentley sends Mr. Casley, for a MS. of Lucan,’ and then Casley's ‘note’ was sufficient security.

2 Here there is a sign for the re-entry of the missing chapters.

3 For these details on Books 3, 4, and 5 I am indebted to Dr. Conway.

4 There are also some later corrections that have anticipated modern scholars, even Madvig.

5 T = Thuaneus of Gronovius and Diauu (who has collated it), and is Frigell's Colbertinus. A large majority of its corrections (T2) bring it into harmony with PFU.
