^{page 38 note 1} Thes. cites also two examples with ordinal numerals, one from Seneca, the other from Tertullian. A trimo (Varro) scarcely belongs to the same category, being more akin to a puero and the like; the other two quotations in this section (from the elder Seneca and the younger Pliny) have still less right to their position.

^{page 39 note 1} Indictments of L.-S., by J. E. B. Mayor and others, have dealt mostly with its treatment of post-Augustan authors. Perhaps it is not generally realized how badly even Cicero is treated; the article on insitiuus is by no means an isolated phenomenon. As for Caesar, one need only refer to the treatment of intereo, a word used by Caesar with striking frequency. The article, which is a monument of slovenliness and incompetence from beginning to end, does not even mention Caesar.

I may, perhaps, take this opportunity of supplementing the lexica by pointing out that Livy has several examples of intereo. and uses it in more than one way, although he does not seem to share Caesar's fondness for it. I have noted the follwing instances: (a) with personal subjects (a use strangely concealed by L.-S.), 3. 13. 3; 8. 18. 9; 26. 16. 6; 30. 35. 2; (b) otherwise, 6. 1. 2; 9. 29. 11; 24. 4. 2.

^{page 40 note 1} Some of them have no doubt appeared in works other than dictionaries; but as this paper is specially concerned with the dictionaries, there is perhaps no great harm in allotting an occasional line in a long list to matters which, though familiar to scholars, are unknown to the lexicographers.

^{page 40 note 2} It would frequently have been possible to add other authorities, especially post-Augustan writers, to those mentioned in the lexica; but this did not seem necessary, as the present paper is concerned with what the lexicographers give.
