is wrongly altered by Weissenborn. For termini cf. Ar. Eth. 9, 4, I, οἷς αἱ φιλίαι ὁρίζονται. p. 144, n. on § 90, 1. 19. quod contra: see Madv. Fin. 5, 76; Munro on Lucr. I, 82. p. 154, Appendix on the Text. Since this edition was first issued (1879) a valuable recension of the text has appeared by C. F. W. Müller (in the series of Teubner texts). It contains much fuller information concerning the Paris MS than was given by Mommsen. On a careful consideration of all its readings, I am not inclined to allow to it a preponderant influence in the constitution of the text, though I admit it is of very high value*. p. 156, § 8, 1. 20. multum: so PL; G multam; edd. generally multi. p. 157, n. on § 20. nil unquam. Formerly I read nil quicquam, but the phrase is not Ciceronian. It occurs in Mss of De Or. 1, 134, where quisquam is now read by edd. p. 158, n. on § 32, 1. 24. concertatio: Iwan Müller objects that this word has always a bad or not good' sense. But the same is true of certatio; in either case we have oxymoron, similar to that in Ligar. 16 honesto mendacio. p. 159, nn. on § 41. Many corrections of the words deinde and quae have been proposed. C. F. W. M. marks the passage as corrupt. § 49, 1. 30. inanibus: C. F. W. M. inanimis (an old em.), needlessly. n. on § 50, 1. 4. et tam trahat: in favour of trahat, cf. Hor. Sat. 2, 6, 75 quidve ad amicitias, usus rectumne, trahat nos? Sen. Ep. 6, 3 cum animos in societatem honesta cupiendi par voluntas trakit; Rep. 6, 25 suis te oportet illecebris ipsa virtus trahat ad verum decus. The last passage may help to defend illiciat, the reading of the best MSS, rejected by C. F. W. M. Cic. has just been mentioning (§ 49) the allurements of ordinary life, and now says that even these cannot allure like similarity of character. The observation of Gernhard (quoted by Iwan Müller in his review of this edition) that illiciat is a vox indigna amicitia, is quite beside the mark. Against Brieger's omission of ad before amicitiam cf. Plin. Ep. 4, 15, 2 cum sit ad conectendas amicitias tenacissimum vinculum morum similitudo. p. 160, n. on § 65, 1. 27. quem: the preceding and succeeding sentences, if attentively read, confirm my em. (which Iwan Müller condemns). The whole passage relates to the ideal friend. For quem quaerimus cf. Fin. 2, 37; Tusc. 4, 37; ib. 5, 42 and 110. p. 161, n. on § 96. cooptatio: unfortunately in the index to Vol. I of the Corp. Inscr. coptato is given for coaptato (as in the transcript of the inscription). For coptato cf. Lucr. 5, 342 coperuisse with Munro's n. * An examination of the Paris мs which I was enabled to make by the courtesy of its present possessor (Mr Quaritch) has confirmed me in my view. Unfortunately my examination came too late for use in the present edition. I hope to publish the results of it elsewhere. INDEX TO THE MATTERS CONTAINED IN THE INTRODUCTION, N.B.
