Note 887 — Chapter X
Reading edition
The following will serve as an instance. In the speech of Galgacus (Taciti vita Agricolæ) instead of libertatem non in præsentia laturi, which indeed is unintelligible enough, he would read, in libertatem, non in populi Romani servitium nati. Such a conjecture would not be endured in the present state of criticism. Muretus, however, settles it in the current style; vulgus quid probet, quid non probet, nunquam laboravi.
