^{page 1 note 1} We are greatly indebted to Professors J. P. Postgate and W. B. Anderson for many valuable comments on the proof of this paper. The former would defend eius ordinis by the id and eius of 6. 34. 5, which, however, seem to us necessary in that sentence.

^{page 4 note 1} So, as Professor Souter has pointed out, the ethnicon of Agen is spelt in the best mediaeval sources.

^{page 5 note 2} Though any Lexicon will show that clarus is not rare as a stronger word to replace or augment certus (e.g. 22. 39. 22).

^{page 5 note 3} Professor Anderson would prefer to excise the two words as a gloss to quaedam, which seems to us unlikely.

^{page 6 note 1} Profestor Anderson proposes agrestibus terri-bilior quam urbi, and attributes the confusion to the homoeon -tib. terrib-. But agri includes the inhabitants as in 3. 6. 2.

^{page 8 note 1} The same is true also of such famous scenes as the orders of Hannibal for his first great battle in Italy (21. 54. 2), the interview of Coriolanus and his mother (2. 40. 4), and the words of Verginius to his daughter and to Appius (3. 48. 5), to mention no others. The dramatic power of Livy's restraint in the last case will be well seen if it be compared with the speech put into Verginius' lips by no less an orator than Lord Macaulay in his Lay of Virginia.

^{page 11 note 1} Professor Postgate shakes his head, and would prefer to alter the VI. to IX.

^{page 12 note 1} On omissions in the uncial archetype see further the second part of this paper (on 8. 31. 5 and 9. 40. 4) and the Introduction to our second volume of the text (VI.-X.); and to show that the first Decade is not alone in this respect, we may mention, e.g. 27. 32. 7, where Put. reads ‘postero die ⃒ castellum Phyrcum uocant ⃒ copias omnis eduxit’. But Spirensis (acc. to Rhenanus) gave postero die omnes copias ad propinquum (possibly -Qum) Eliorum (19 letters) castellum Pyrgum uocant eduxit. This means that a predecessor of Put. omitted two whole lines (ad propinquum…uocant) (40 letters or less), but copied out one or both in the margin, whence Put. took only one and that in the wrong place.
