172 Austin Morris Harmon, 



(15) 136. 37 repertus solus Insert est, with Accursius: cf. I. 70.14. 



(16) 138. 2 Romanis inlaturi Transpose. 



(17) 139. 6 metueret offensam Read metuet ut : see Hassenstein, 



p. Jjff- and Scliickinger, p. 'jff. The following verb 

 properabat in the same clause has already been altered 

 to properabit by Kiessliiig, and there is no reason for 

 retaining metueret. C/. I. 289. 31 laederet ut offensus. 



(18) 143. 2 segne ratus V Segem catus : read segnius ratus with 



Novak {Ciirae Anunian., Prague i8cj6). 



(19) 143. 24 conveniet ostendi ?^conveniet et ostendi : £j'55^;///rtn/^ 



reads convenienter ostendam. To me it seems that an 

 infinitive {perhaps describi) has fallen out of the te.xt 

 before conveniet. 



(20) 145. 17 horum similem IVith Gelenius I have inserted cuius- 



qiiam : This emendation is not, however, necessary to 

 secure a regular clausula, for gloria horum similem 

 gives cadence IV. 



(21) 149. 5 quin etiam sarmentis In conformity to the usage of 



Ammianus I would insert et before sarmentis [cf 232. 8 ; 

 240. 23), but emendation is not necessary as far as con- 

 cerns the rhythm, for etiam sarmentis gives I ;'. 



(22) 149. 29 ut pugnaturi levius These words are to be bracketed 



as a marginal gloss which has crept into the text, and 

 which embodies anerroneous explanation o/'elatis — scutis. 

 The author of the gloss never saw a testudo in oper- 

 ation. {On glosses in the text, see p. 2jjff.) 



(23) 151. 14 Constanti obitum It is not at all certain that we should 



look for a clausula here, but one is easily obtained by 

 reading Constantii. 



(24) 152. 38 Vulcati gratiam Read Vulcatii. 



(25—26) 154. 5 ff. damque conlimitia iussa custodiunt duces 

 et occulta fallacissimae gentis observantur * 

 agens ipse cum parte validiori exercitus 

 curabat urgentia 

 velut pugnaturus * 

 oppidaque tuebatur excursu 



At first glance this seems a case of responsion in A : 

 it is not certain. hocvever,for(\) the responsion may be in 

 V: fallacissimae gentis observantur, urgentia velut pug- 

 naturus, or (2) /'/ may be that the clausulae are III;', 

 gentis obseruantur (/>. 2jf) and velut propugnaturus 

 {Gelenius).. The latter view seems to me preferable.
