PREFATORY NOTE
As in the preceding volumes of this series, agree-
ment between the Sintenis (Teubner, 1873-1875)
and Bekker (Tauchnitz, 1855-1857) texts of the
Parallel Lives has been taken as the basis for the
text. Any preference of one to the other where
they differ, and any departure from both, have been
indicated. None of the Lives presented in this
volume is contained in the Codex Seitenstettensis
(S), the relative value of which is explained in the
Introduction to the first volume. A few superior
readings have been adopted from the Codex Matri-
tensis (Ma), on the authority of the collations of
Charles Graux, as published in Dursians Jahresbe.ncht
(1884). No attempt has been made, naturally, to
furnish either a diplomatic text or a full critical
apparatus. The reading which follows the colon in
the critical notes is that of the Teubner Sintenis,
and also, unless otherwise stated in the note, of the
Tauchnitz Bekker.
Some use has been made of the edition of the
