PREFATORY NOTE
As in the preceding volumes of this series, agree-
nuiit between the Sintenis (Teubner, 1873-1875)
and Bekker (Tauchnitz, 1855-1857) editions of the
Parallel Lives lias 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 fir^t volume.
None of the Lives presented in this volume are con-
tained in the two oldest and most authoritative
manuscripts—the Codex Sangermanensis (S*) and
the Codex Seitenstettensis (S), or in the excellent
Paris manuscript No. 1676 (F*). Their text there-
fore rests principally on the Paris manuscripts
Nos. 1671, 1673, and 1674 (ACD), although in a few
instances weight has been given to readings from
the Codex Matritensis (M*), on the authority of the
collations of Charles Graux and his editions of the
Demosthenes and Cicero. 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 voU., 8vo), or to the rather inaccessible
text of the Lives by Lindskog and Ziegler, in the
Teubner
Library of Greek and Latin texts (Vol. IIL,
Fasc. L was published in
1915). In the present
edition, the reading which follows the colon in the
brief critical notes is that of the Teubner Sintenis,
and also, unless otherwise stated in the note, of the
Tauchnitz Bekker.
All the standard translations of the Liucs have
been
carefully compared and utilized, including
those of the Cicero and Caesar
by Professor Long.
And more or less use has been made of the follow-
ing works : Graux, Fie de Dcmoslhene, and Fie de
Ciceron, Paris, 1883 and 1882 ; Holden, Plutarch's
Demosthenes, Cambridge, Pitt Press Series, 1893 ;
Gudeman, Sources of Plutarch's Cicero, Philadelphia,
1902; Sillier, Cicero of Arpinum, New Haven, 1914,
and Annals
of Caesar, New York, 1911.
