7 There are some asterisks in the revised edition which did not occur in the 1902 edition, on pp. 371 and 372. These refer to the reservoirs, the Bruchion quarter, and the Church of St. Mark. Their meaning has escaped me. Perhaps they have something to do with the mysterious p. 372 and Add. on pp. Ixxiii–lxxiv of Fraser's Additional Bibliography and extra, probably informative, notes, not, after all, printed in the revised edition? There are faults of proof-reading in the revised text, e.g. on p. ix, 1.31 for li read liii, 1.3 3 for I read lii; p. x, 1.1, for xlix read li; 1. 6, for liv read lvi.
