PREFACE XVII

I owed to the liberality of Halm rather than Jahn, to whom Jahn had yielded, which I later learned from Halm's letter. — P. XII, last line, read: E Nazario From Nazarius (as Iullian in Revue crit. 1882, p. 442, correctly warned). — P. XVIII, penultimate line, write: ‘Where it exhibits desiderata for siderata’. — P. XXV, line 15: Concerning the lost epitome of Livy, which I taught was used by Orosius, I discussed it more fully: Festschrift zur XXXVI. Philologen-Vers. 1882, p. 87 sqq. — P. XXXII, before line 8, the letter B fell out in the margin, with which I marked Paulus in the critical apparatus. — P. XXXV, line 21: That the manuscript of Orosius, Victor Vitensis, and Paulus Diaconus (Grenoble no. 338) is the same as the Librian no. 86 of Ashburnham escaped both Georg Waitz (Paulus, Hist. Langob. ed. 1878, cod. no. 96 and no. 105) and the editor of the excerpts that Neues Archiv IV (1879), p. 610, exhibits. — Now the manuscript exists in the Parisian library, nouv. acq. lat. no. 1602; cf. L. Delisle, Catal. des mss. des fonds Libri et Barrois, Paris 1888, p. 44. — P. XXXVII, line 30: Besides the ‘Commonitorium’, I could have mentioned the letter of Orosius to St. Augustine, which I found in the 9th–10th century British manuscript Add. no. 24902, fol. 37^v (Sitzungsber. der Wiener Akad. 84, p. 533). But just as that letter will have to be edited by the one who treats Augustine's letters, so the judgment regarding the author had to be left to him. Georg Schepss recently published the ‘Commonitorium’ at Vienna in 1889, along with the relics of Priscillian in Corp. Scr. Eccles., vol. XVIII, pp. 149–157. — IIII 6 § 36, in the critical apparatus at verse 6, for D write: G. — V 22 § 8, in the list of Authors, line 2, add: ‘and Philipp. 11, 8 § 18’. But Orosius perhaps took these things also from the Livian epitome. — VII 6 § 9, p. 449, 15, in the list of Authors, for ‘line 18’ write: ‘p. 450, 1’. — In the Index, p. 455 and p. 698, add: Maeotis I 2 § 49.

I have placed below the chapters or ‘capitulations’ of the Histories from the Saint Gall manuscript no. 621 (9th century = G in the major edition), which are no less convenient than those I exhibited in the major edition, p. 565 sqq., from the Donaueschingen manuscript (8th century = D).
