(«) § 1. Ussher, p. 818. Patrem — Taberniae. 



Calpornium CB . . . diaconem CB . . . quondam CB . . . ins. in 

 \uico~\ C . . . Bonauem no ms. 



This citation has not affected Boll. 



{h) §§1, 2. Ussher, p. 828. Annorum eram — ut pater filiuni. 

 milihis Yita vii . . . tiel sero rememorarem CB . . .et ut conuerterer C . . . 

 adolescentiae et ignorantiae Yitae ii., iv., vii., as well as B . . . con- 

 solatus est me CB. 



There are here five material variations from the text of A. But 

 for none of the variants of Boll, can Denis be said to be indebted to 

 Ussher. 



{c) §§ 16, 17. Ussher, p. 829. Cotidie— sex annis. 



Om. itaque [igitur CB] . . . ins. et \_ante lucem~\ CB . . . [responsum'] 

 dicens . . . \_cum] quo [fueram'] CB. 



We have here four material variations from A. dicens and omission 

 of itaque are the only ones not found in B or C. Denis adopted these 

 and also the following readings of A preserved by Ussher : — 

 amor so C . . . om. m bef. mo?ite . . . ins. sentieham . . . om. et 

 terram . . . ins. iterum . . . ins. \_no7i] bef. erat prope — six in all. 



It is characteristic of Denis that of the three insertions adopted 

 from A only one is indicated by square brackets. 



{d) § 21. Ussher, p. 832. Et iterum post annos — de manibus 

 eorum. 



ins. I^t iterum post annos \jmdtos'\ C . . . utique for itaque no ms. 

 ins. dicens mihi (C has dicentem mihi') . . . duos menses C. 



Here B is not extant, so that vre cannot say with certainty whether 

 any of these variations from A which are in Boll, were in B. Dicens 

 for dicentem probably was not. On the other hand, A and Boll, agree 

 in nocte ilia sexagessima against CF3F4 node ilia sexagessimo die. 



{e) §23. Ussher, p. 832. Et iterum post paucos — expergefactus 

 sum. 



Britanniis No ms. . . . nunquam C . . . uidi in uisu nocte^ and 

 om. uidi infra C . . . om. quasi I^o ms. . . . Victor icius C . . . 

 illis C . . . Miberionacum C . . . ipso momento C, with the reading of A, 

 ipse in mente, noted in the margin. . . . ins. quasi ex uno ore C . . . 

 amhules C . . . expergefactus C. Seven material variations. 



Here again B is not extant ; but Denis expressly notes that the 

 important place-name Focluti, which he adopts from Ussher, was not 

 in his MS., " Virgulti habebat ms." 



There are a few other places in which Denis quotes, not always 

 correctly, the reading of his ms. in rejecting it.
