The Satyricon

which, however, for a long time p. 95, 11 up to infelix modo crinibus nitebas, at nunc leuior aere uel rotundo ridentes fugis et times puellas Unhappy one, you were recently shining with your hair, but now lighter than air or a round [ball], you flee the laughing girls and are afraid p. 135, 5 were contained. Each page of this codex has two columns, and each column has roughly thirty lines. The writing is clear, the orthography as corrected as possible except that ae or ę and e are more frequently mixed, there are many abbreviations of prepositions, fewer of syllables, and none of words. One or two letters were erased more often, which I noted very rarely because the scribe had corrected his mistakes in such a way that it did not appear what had been written before. A more recent hand inserted these ./ signs for lacunae, perhaps Bongarsius who had possessed the book. We compared the Bernensia folia Bern folios more diligently after Orellius, lent by the librarian Steigerus, Theodorus Mommsenus with the Bipontina Zweibrücken edition, and I, having received them from Otto Ribbeckius, with the Amstelodamensis Traguriensis example; Mommsenus alone compared the Leidensia Leiden manuscripts with the Bipontina. In that particle of excerpts which is comprised by neither of those, we will stand by the Pithoeanis de Altissiodurensi Pithou’s testimonies regarding the Auxerre manuscript testimonies.
