ceteris recentiora quidem, ut colligo ex liquoris colore, qui est ruber flavescens, sed exiguo intervallo recentiora. Quotquot vel emendatio, nes vel notæ multo recentiores videntur, de iis, quantum mibi compertum erit, sedulo monebo. Sed imprimis tenendum est, ubi scalpello et rasura textus mutatur, sæpe difficillimum esse emendatoris ætatem dignoscere. Post rasuram enim, fibrarum divortia ita atramentum intercipiunt, ut diversos diversarum manuum characteras prorsus confundant. Quocirca, veniam me impetraturum spero, sicubi primæ manus emendationem recenti, aut recentis interpolationem primæ tribui. Metri peritissimus haud fuisse videtur Scholiastes; is enim præcipuus est emendator; in iis e. g. verbis, quæ vel simplex vel duplex pro re admittunt, is fere semper alterum addit, aliquando quidem postulante metro, sæpius vero respuente. Hunc codicem decimo tertio seculo adscribit CASLEIUS, nec quicquam habeo, quod contradicam. Illud notandum, scriptum esse, cum jam dubitari cœptum esset, utrum iota ad latus an infra poni deberet. Nostri enim textus media quadam via incedit; cujus exempla aliquot in collatione videbis. In scholiis vix usquam iota, quod subscriptum vocamus, ullo modo comparet. Porro aberrationes omnes curiose enotare partium mearum haud duxi; satis vero multas me dedisse reor, unde codicis ingenium perspici queat. Ubicunque enim varia lectioni librariorum error adhæsit, corruptelam fideliter servavi. Exempla vide A. 634. M. 54. Hic etiam codex, ut id obiter moneam, collatus est a THOMA BENTLEIO, sed negligenter admodum. Nullas enim, certe rarissimas ejus lectiones, præter eas, quas in textu inveniebat, enotavit. Sed finem præfandi faciam, postquam addidero, longe plura in prioribus libris scholia esse usque ad medium voluminis, pauciora deinde esse in posterioribus; in postremis paucissima. siliensem Iliadis editionem aliquoties laudat Eustathius; sæpe Scholia a Villoisono edita.

Gell, the topographer of Troy, Ithaca, and Argolis, during his last visit to the plain of Marathon, procured among other valuable remains of antiquity recently found on that interesting spot, two engraved stones, which from the devices are supposed to have belonged to the Persians slain there in the battle so celebrated in Grecian history. The avidity of some English travellers to possess antiques of this description, so enhanced the value of those gems, that Mr. Gell could not obtain them under a price amounting, as we understand, to nearly twenty-five guineas each. The conjecture above mentioned concerning their origin, is corroborated, and their value consequently raised, by the circumstance of four others of a similar kind being found near the ruins of Persepolis, and in other parts of Persia, by Sir William Ouseley, during his late travels in that country. Among a variety of brass arrow-heads brought also from Persepolis by Sir William Ouseley, some are said to resemble exactly those which have been found on the plain of Marathon. |
