Excerpt from Metrologicorum Scriptorum Reliquiae, Vol. 2: Collegit Recensuit Partim Nunc Primum; Quo Scriptores Romani Et Indices Continentur
Il 1854 (quem librum significavi nota Spe). Nec ad locum de agri mensuris omisi ea quae Lachmannus in Mus. Rhen.ii p. 356 ss. (la) exposuit. Benique adnotavi varias scripturas quae apud Priscianum in libro de figuris numero mm (3 15 s.) inveniuntur(pri), ubi usus sum editione Keiiii. Nec tamen persuadere mihi potui omnia quaecumque apud Varronem legnntur omissa a Prisciano ob eam ipsum cau sam Varroni abiudicanda esse. Nam extrema quidem Var ronis verba (s 17 4 quod libra: cet.) iniuria sive Priscia nus omisit sive librarii eius, quam negiegentiam etiam aliis locis commissam esse consentaneum videtur. Et alio quin nonnulla errata sunt apud Priscianum quae recte ha bent Varronis libri. In fr. 109 p. 51, 12 certa con icctura correxi esse p. Id est pede: ex Fiorentini scriptura esset. Dc compendio p. Coni. P. 54, 10. 55, 14 ss. 58, 27. 59, 23, denique legem parieti faciundo in C. L. Voi. I p. 577.
