Note 1583 — Chapter I · PLINY THE YOUNGER AND MINOR CONTEMPORARIES
Reading edition
I. i. 1: “Collegi non seruato temporis ordine, neque enim historiam componebam.” E.g. II. xx. is perhaps earliest of all. II. xi., on Priscus’s trial, belongs to A.D. 100, but III. iv. to 98. IX. xxxiv. mentions Pliny’s idea of employing a reader; in VIII. i. the idea has been acted on.
