page 31 note 1 Mr Maybaum is equally precipitate at Cic. 188 ‘Arcturo magnum spatium supero didit orbe Iuppiter; huic paruum inferiore in parte locauit’; paruum is the opposite of the sense required, so he writes magnum; I write par.
page 34 note 1 Auien. 136 sq. ‘Sidoniis ducet Cynosura carinis: rectior undoso cursus sulacatur in aestu,’ dux est Aldus: write ‘Sidoniis duce te, Cynosura, Carinis, rectior’ etc.
page 37 note 1 Because Baehrens discovered these verses (ii 17–20) Mr Breysig desires to believe that they are spurious, just as he does with frag, v ; so he says (p. xxviii) that they mean the same as verses 8 and 9 above them. They do not. Verses 8 and 9 distinguish between the proper motion of the snn and moon and planets through the zodiacal signs from west to east and their diurnal motion about the earth from east to west in common, with all the heaven. Verses : 19 and 20 refer to the periodical acceleration and retardation of the former of these two motions.
