corrupt. Great critical acumen has been brought to bear on it by Wex, who in the Prolegomena to his edition, published 1852, has discussed the entire subject of the MSS. as well as every controverted passage at great length. He thinks meanly of the recension of Puteolanus in the 15th century, on which the common reading of the text has from that time been based. He relies chiefly on one of the Vatican MSS. of the 15th century, the work of Pomponius Laetus and containing on the margin the various readings of another MS. which are written in the same hand. Wex's examination of this MS. is subsequent to that of Orelli and Baiter. Of recent editors he has done the most for the Agricola. The more recent edition of Kritz mainly owes its value to Wex.
