A Sixth-Century Fragment of the Letters of Pliny the Younger

Note 1 — Notes to Part I

Reading edition

The scribe first wrote

hilaritatis

. To correct the error he or a contemporary hand placed dots above the

t

and

i

and drew a horizontal line through them to indicate that they should be omitted. This is the usual method in very old manuscripts.

2.

sanctitatis

is corrected to

sanctitas

in the manner described in the preceding note.
