Note 84 — INTRODUCTION (continued 2)
Reading edition
F’s πλεῖστον κίνδυνον for πλείστους κινδύνους in 244 5 seems due to a desire to diminish the number of sigmas in the sentence, while some minute changes in word-order look like deliberate attempts to improve the flow and sound of the passage. Such discrepancies in the word-order of F and P occur in other parts of the treatise, and not simply in the quotations.
