[Transcriber’s Notes]
[ The Hallam Edition of Ovid’s Fasti]
This expurgated edition was produced in 1882 for the use of boys at Harrow. Hallam’s Preface says:
I have cut out all passages unfit for a boy to read, and renumbered all the lines in text and references, and it seemed best not to put the old numbering side by side with the new, except in the Grammatical Appendices. It has been necessary to alter the text, though very slightly, in about six places.
In some books, cuts are substantial: ii. 701-710 (reading D5B, page 64) is 543-552 in Hallam. For this e-text, the original line number is shown as a notation to the cited Hallam number; when the original number was used, the Hallam number is shown in the same way.
Additional Footnotes
[A.] qui si improbasset:
The syllable “im” is crossed out by hand. Readings of this passage include both “probasset” and “in(im-)probasset”.
[B.] (in chronological table):
[149-146 B.C.]: Destruction of Carthage.
[148 B.C.]: Macedonia made a Roman Province (4); Illyricum made a Roman Province (5).
[133 B.C.]: Roman Province in Spain (7); Achaia made a Roman Province (8).
Province #6 is missing. By this text’s numbering, Africa (146 B.C.) should have been #4, with Macedonia and Illyricum as #5 and #6.
