PREFATORY NOTE As

the preceding volumes of this series, agreement between the Sintenis (Teubner, 1873-1875) in

and Bekker (Tauchnitz, 1855-1857) editions of the Parallel Lives has been taken as the basis for the text.

Any

preference of one to the other, and any

important departure from both, have been indicated. An abridged account of the manuscripts of Plutarch

may be found in the Introduction to the first volume. None of the Liven presented in this volume are contained in the two oldest and best manuscripts

Codex Sangermanensis

(S*)

—the

and the Codex Seiten-

stettensis (S), or in the excellent Paris manuscript

No. 1676 (F*). Their text therefore rests principally

on the Paris manuscripts Nos. 1671, 1673, and 1674 (ACD). No attempt has been made, naturally, to furnish either a diplomatic text or a full critical apparatus.

For these, the reader must be referred to

the major edition of Sintenis (Leipzig, 1S39-1846, 4 .voll., 8vo), or to the rather inaccessible text of the Lives by Lindskog and Ziegler, in the Teubner

of the Lives have

been carefully compared and utilized, including those of the Sertorius and Calo by Professor Long. B.
