Ix. 9. 1. praecipue nune iam inclinata uictoria M; praecipue cum 
iam inclinata sit uictoria H, Hittorp. The reading of M is much 
more antithetical to nullo tempore, and in some degree the more diffi- 
cult reading. Mune (nc) and eum (et) are often confused ; but I think 
the addition of s¢¢ is an emendation on the part of Y. 
1x. 11.2. Nam et celeriter una futuros nos arbitror et nondum 
satis confirmatus sum ad scribendum H edd. Sum is omitted in M. 
But it is required, owing to the preceding et. 
1x. 13.1. ut in ea prouincia esset in qua nemo nostrum . 
bellum ullum putare M; putarat edd. H, h.% This latter reading 
would stand very well, as it would assign a reason why Calenus went 
to Spain, viz. that he and all of us, his friends, thought that the 
country would be free from war. 
1x. 14. 6. proponas M H; proponam M (where this letter is found 
among the Epp. ad Att. xiv. 17). The latter is right, owing to habeo 
following. A little after H reads cmtarz, which is an emendation, 
and a bad one, as certes shows. 
1x. 15.1. intellexi pergratam tibi perspectum esse gaudeo M, 
evidently pointing to an omission. Klotz reads, with Lambinus and 
Orelii, Intellexi pergratam tibi esse curam meam ualetudinis tuae ani- 
mumque erga te meum quem tibi perspectum esse gaudeo. H_ has 
Pergratam tibi curam meam ualetudinis tuae quam tibi perspectam 
esse gaudeo; and Corradus tells us he found this reading in four 
mss. We do not hear of Lambinus having any ms. authority for his 
reading ; so, although we have to suppose that perspectam got cor- 
rupted into perspectum in M, still I should be most inclined to adopt 
the reading of H. 
1x. 16. 2. ad istorum beneuolentiam conciliandum et colligendum 
M; ad istorum beniuolentiam conciliandam et colugendam H, Mad- 
vig, in discussing Cael. 63, ad tradendum pyxidem (Opuscula Acade- 
mica 880, sgq.), objects completely to this construction, and shows at 
great length that all the examples are either not properly guaranteed 
or can be got rid of. On this passage he merely mentions that M is 
in error. At 1x. 2.5, some mss. read ad aedificandum remp. But 
there both M and H have aediticandam. 
1x. 16. 2. Nam etsi non facile diiudicatur amor uerus et fictus nisi 
aliquid incidit eiusmodi tempus, &c., H; aliquod incidat M. Alh- 
quod is right; but it is simpler to read the indicative (incidit), as it 
has ms. authority, and diiudicatur is in the indicative; though no 
doubt diiudicatur may be taken as a gnomic present (= diiudicari 
potest), and so be exempted from the rule of the moods in both clauses 
of a conditional sentence being the same: ¢f. De Orat. 3.87. On 
13 By A I designate Harleian ms. No. 2751. It contains all the Epp. ad Fam., 
except some in the midule of vir. and at the end of xv1. It belongs to the M 
family. Ina few places here and there I have noticed its readings.
