Hercher's alteration of the crucial words might have been predicted to the letter; he wrote simply and logically: Ka\ tIXXov y EVOLto raVEp7JS O-E ERLXEOACLG 7TV

EIJ.v -q dC AEX xaCid &8taLcToea-•a 8W8OLKO'a. And it is doubtful if a mortal man can do better, starting from the assumption that Y-Ivotio is sound, and that not even in the correspondence of Themistocles could it be followed by a future infinitive. On the assumption that yv&otro is not sound, it is little trouble to manufacture two or three of those emendations for which nothing can be said, save that they are construed with facility by their authors, that they might with facility have passed into the tradition, and that few would have troubled to question them had they happened to be the tradition. I have given the one which I dislike least: 7' for -b would have to be taken as the result of correction after [v ;I -Td had been miswritten y vowto.

heavy-handed, it is preferable to assume the confusion of w•7, v, and divest the

Videant alii, concludes Hercher; but there seems little need to look long, for the passage rewrites itself in the sense required. IIpt for 'rEtp recurs at 746, 18, I9; 753, 20; 758, 36 (wrongly altered by Hercher):

Ex0pEV'EV, but I fail to see why he would have none of it.-The corrupt close of the following sentence was rightly emended by Westermann.

What struck Themistocles as not very tall was perhaps more probably brush- wood than a hollow. Then Hercher's KacXXLk-T' and

speaks for and against itself. Until, however, a single word is found-and it will not be Hercher's 'Eptivvs-which may with propriety replace io-1Vs, the only course is to postulate an omission after 4E-ayyEXAXE atL.

Immediately below I should give the author a desiderative to consort with his KWX / , LETC/eAXo3, 'HAEyhv ErivVeov, o'XKa' dvayojuaEVq, and the like, by writing aro8wo-<EL>EcS : in 39, EV<84>ETpL/ov is needed.

I had thought to add a page of minutiae, with a list-far too long-of passages where the scribe of the Palatinus, who was not all mendacity, set down the truth, only to have the truth proscribed by that capricious triumvirate, Caryophilus, Wester- mann, and Hercher, quos honoris causa nomino. But neither is it tempting to turn back into the waste, nor could I with decency trespass further on the space of the Classical Quarterly.

POSTSCRaPTS.-To fill the void remaining on this page, I add one or two footnotes which I had omitted:
