ARISTOTLE 



Additional Note on the ms. Z 



The following portions of the text of De partibus are con- 

 tained in the Oxford ms. Z (see p. 50) : 



fol. 60^, 60^. I. 639 b 29 to 640 b 24. /xe'xpi to fiaXXov av 

 inclusive. 



fol. 61', 6 P. I. 644 a 25 to 645 a 17. KadoXov to rot? (^y in- 

 clusive. 



Between these two folios it has apparently lost four folios, 

 as well as one at the beginning of Book I and another at the 

 end. 



fol. lf-19'. Book II. 



fol. 19^-36'. Book III, but the words ou ttoXv to cvpvxdipovs 

 inclusive (675 a 30-b 27) are omitted, 

 with no indication by the original scribe 

 that anything has been omitted : this 

 passage has been supplied by a later hand 

 in the margins of fol. 35'^ and 36' and 

 on 36^. 



Book IV is written by yet another (later) hand, and this 

 Book occupies fol. 37'"-59v, at the end of which folio it breaks 

 off at the words ra KoXovixiva (694 a 13). The rest of Book 

 IV is lost. 



In the apparatus I have used the following abbreviations 

 in quoting this ms. : 



Z Books I, II and most of III (first hand, c. a.d. 1000). 

 Z^ indicates the reading of the first hand where this has 



been altered by another. 

 Z^ indicates later correctors of Z^. 

 Z indicates the readings of the ms. in Book IV. 



I have collated from photostats the whole of the portion 

 written by the first hand, and the readings of Z quoted have 

 been confirmed by reference to the photostats. 



I have used the symbol E when quoting the readings of 

 E from 680 b 36 onwards, as this part of the ms. is written 

 in a later hand.
