^{page 80 note *} For Bks. I, II (Gottleber's work) and V 54 end these notes lurk amongst the commentary at the foot of the pages; for III–V 54 they are all together in an appendix to vol. I (pp. 816–834). In addition, further notices of scholia, Cassel have been combined with the annotations in Scholia Graeca vol. II pp. 482–588Google Scholar, which also include the Bâle scholia as printed by Duker.

^{page 86 note *} A few of Dain's numerous innovations in the nomenclature of the Thucydidean MSS. are evidently salutary: our present MS. is called J instead of G, a letter given to it by Bekker, but now usurped irrecoverably by the capital MS. Monacensis 228; and X, which Arnold wasted on Bekker's D (Marcianus 367), is transferred to the Leyden MS., hitherto known as Lugd. Other changes, though they conflict with the notation I had privately been using, are intrinsically un-objectionable, and I will in future conform to them. These are: S (Salmanticensis M 74); U (Laurentianus 69, 16); 1 (Parisinus suppl. gr. 256); m (Massiliensis Aa. I); n (Tolosanus 802). But most of Dain's proposals are pernicious. He has transferred the letter T from Cantabrigiensis Kk-5·19 to the Tours MS. of Constantine's Excerpts, and L from Arundelianus 545 to Laurentianus 69, 30; worse than this, Greek letters, small and capital, which it was highly desirable to reserve for other purposes, have been distributed at random and sometimes given to MSS. which had names already. These I intend to ignore myself; and I hope that others will do the same. [The apparent renaming of A (Parsuppl. gr. 255) as C is a misprint.]

I have felt obliged to make these observations, not only because the nomenclature of the Thucydidean MSS. will, unless carefully controlled, become increasingly confused as more papyri are published and more MSS. collated, but also because Dain intends (l.c. p. 20) to give us dissertations upon the text of MSS. which he has examined. I trust he will then take the opportunity of reconsidering some of his suggestions. It must be confessed that the paragraph with which he has prefaced his present ‘Liste’ arouses anxiety as to his equipment for dealing successfully with the intricate problems of Thu Cydidean deteriores. We there read that ‘the Norfolkianus is kept at London, and not at Holkham, like the other Norfolkiani’ [the Norfolkiani are partly in the British Museum, and partly in the College of Arms; originally possessed by the Dukes of Norfolk and Earls of Arundel, they have of course no connection with Holkham Hall, the seat of the Leicesters]; that ‘to-day the meaning of the appellations Italus and Graevianus escapes us; the latter moreover never belonged to Graevius’ [Italus, because brought from Italy in 1797; Graevianus, because Hudson obtained the loan of it through , Graevius (praef. 1696)]Google Scholar; or that ‘one of the good anthorities for Thucydides, the Cassellanus, has ceased to be employed has been lost that Greek MSS. exist at Cassel’ [modern editors ignore on principle all be right over Cassellanus, which, except for a part of the scholia, is a direct copy of F].

^{page 88 note *} Poppo-Stahl allude (I p. 43) to a collation by H. Stephanus. This is a mistake due to the fact that Stephanus reprinted in his margin some of the variants given from J by Cameraius. Either Wetsten or some collator unknown is responsible for scratches with a hard point made against readings which differ from the received text.
