[47.] The Descent of Manuscripts, 1918, p. 16. Professor Clark counts on two pages chosen at random, 23-31 letters in the line. My count for Π includes the nine and a third pages on which full lines occur. If I had taken only foll. 52^r, 52^v, 53^r and 53^v, I should have found no lines of 32 or 33 letters. On the other hand, the first page to which I turned in the Vindobonensis of Livy (133^v) has a line of 32 letters, and so has 135^v, while 136^v has one of 33. The lines of Π are a shade longer than those of the Vindobonensis, but only a shade.

55 [48.] Ibidem, pp. vi, 9-18. There is some danger of pushing Professor Clark’s method too far, particularly when it is applied to New Testament problems. For a well-considered criticism of the book, see Merrill’s review in the Classical Journal XIV (1919), pp. 395 ff.
