PREFATORY NOTE
As in the preceding volumes of this series, agree-
ment between the Sintenis (Teubner, 1873-1875)'
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 an}'^^
important deviation from both, have been indicated.
An abridged account of the manuscripts of Plutarch
may be found in theIntroduction tothe first volume.
Ofthe Lives presented in this volume, the last part
of the Antony (from chapter Ixxvii.), and the Pyrrhtis
and Maiius are contained in the Codex Sanger-
manensis but none in the Codex Seitenstet-
(S^),
tensis These are the two oldest and most
(S).
authoritative manuscripts. The readings of the
excellent Paris manuscript No. 1676 (F*) are not
accessible for any of them. 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, 1839-1846, 4 voll., 8vo), or to the new
text of the Lives by Lindskog and Ziegler, in the
Teubner Library of Greek and Latin texts (now

halfpublished). In the present edition, the reading
which follows the colon in the brief critical notes is
that ofthe Teubner Sintenis, and also, unless other-
wise stated in the note,ofthe Tauchnitz Bekker.
The Siefert-Blass edition of the Pyrrhus, in the
Teubner series of annotated Greek and Latin texts,
has been ofgreat service.
All the standard translations of the Lives have
been carefully compared and utilized, including
those ofthe A7itony and Marius by Professor Long.
