expressions, ¢.g. Livy (41. 8. 10), Ulpian Dig. 47.5.1. The more 
usual expression is that of H, e.g. Verr. 11. 60, si quis quid peteret. 
x. 1.2. utperducatur autem magnae cum diligentiae est tum etiam 
fortunae M; ut perducatur autem magnae diligentiae est twacque curae 
tum etiam fortunae H. ‘These words, tuaeque curae, in H are unlikely 
to have been added, and may have easily falien out ex homoeoteleuto. 
x. 3.1. ignatam M; ignaram H; ignotam (edd.). The latter is. 
right; for cgnarus is used passively in good prose only in a few pas- 
sages of Sallust (Jug. 18, 52) and Seneca (e.g. De Iva, 3. 2. though 
Haase here reads zgnota), and never in Cicero. Gellius (9. 12. 20) im 
discussing the question quotes only Virg. Aen. 10. 706. 
x. 3.8. sed cum intellegerem quid sentires prudenter te arbitrabar 
uidere quid posses. So H, adding prudenter, which is not found in 
the other mss. It comes in awkwardly, as it must qualify wdere. 
Still it is exceedingly difficult to account either for its insertion in H 
or omission in the other mss. 
x. 4.38. nec nunc omittam H; committam M, edd. The error of 
H is due to the ¢ dropping out after the preceding ¢ of nune. 
x. 5. 3. quod quamquam sine virtute fieri non potuisset H; quod 
quamquam sine uirtute non potuisses M? (potuisset M’). It was pro- 
bably potwesset in the archetype, and owing to fier? having dropped out 
was altered to potwisses, with which consequi can be easily supplied 
from the previous sentence. 
x. 8.6. Ipse ita sum animo paratus uel provinciam tuerl.. . 
provinciamque ut vel omnem, &c., M; Ipse sum animo paratus ut vel 
prouinciam tuerl . . . prouimciamque uel omnem, &c., H, Hittorp. 
This latter puts wt in the right place; so in order to get the correct 
reading we have only to supply z¢a from M. 
x. 9.3. itimeri meo . . . opposuerit M; in itimere meo: 
opposuerit. Either would stand; but the reading of H is the better of 
the two of Caes. B.c. 1. 30.2. We generally find the dat. after 
opponere used of persons. 
x. 12.1. Ita te uictorem complectar rep. recuperata ut magnam 
partem mihi lactitiae tua dignitas affert (corrected by same hand to. 
adferat) M; adferat H. The indicative is most certainly right. The 
sense is: ‘‘O that I may be as certain to embrace you on the birth- 
day of recovered freedom as your dignity brings me much joy now.” 
x. 12. 1. nec quod proguedi uelles M; quo H; quoad (edd). 
This latter is probably the true reading to which M leads, and it is. 
adopted by Orelli, Klotz. Quo was suggested perhaps by the preced- 
ing guo (though it is a cadereat Sane But indeed we do often find 
in ss. guod for quo, e.g. x.17.3. H and M have quod obside for quo 
obside. 
x. 12.5.  Dbreuia fugatia caduca existima M; fucata H, Hittorp. 
How one of these readings can have arisen from the other is easy to
