[14] A. Grafton has noted that Heinsius' publisher Elzevier seems to have been unwilling to alter the text as it already existed (JRS LXVII [1977], 173). I owe my knowledge of Heinsius' editorial practices as here described to Professor R. J. Tarrant, who has examined the Harvard copies of the 1664 edition of Heinsius' text (without notes), the 1670 Leiden edition of Bernard Cnippingius, which reproduces Heinsius' notes, and the 1663 reprint of Daniel Heinsius' edition.
[15] Consequently any statements I make on Heinsius' editorial practices are based on explicit statements in his notes.
[16] My knowledge of the manuscript is drawn from André's apparatus.
[17] He collated four other manuscripts, M, Bernensis bibl. munic. 478, Diuionensis bibl. munic. 497, and British Library Burney 220, but gives their readings only occasionally.
[18] These figures are taken from Platnauer 17 and from page vii of Riese's preface to his edition.

[20] Compare Suet Aug 89 3 'componi tamen aliquid de se nisi et serio et a praestantissimis offendebatur, admonebatque praetores ne paterentur nomen suum commissionibus obsolefieri ['be cheapened in prize declamations'—Rolfe]'.

[22] Macrobius does include the explanation for the freezing-over. In view of his fuller account, I believe that Macrobius drew his material from Gellius' source and not from Gellius. It is of course possible enough that Macrobius conflated Gellius with another source.
[23] This seems the best solution to the awkwardness of the line as currently printed. Gellius IX xiv 21 gives two examples of dative facie from Lucilius. Plautus regularly uses fide (Aul 667, Pers 193, Poen 890, Trin 117) and die (Am 546, Capt 464, Trin 843); dative pube is found at Pseud 126. Sallust and Caesar use fide (Iug 16 3; BG V 3 7); at the time of Germanicus, fide is found at Hor Sat I iii 94-95 'quid faciam si furtum fecerit, aut si / prodiderit commissa fide sponsumue negarit?', and pernicie at Livy V 13 5.
