Notes on the current edition

Enquiry into Plants

1. ¹ κάτωθεν. . , ἀπαλλάττουσαι probably beyond certain re- storation : I have added καὶ before κάτωθεν (from G), altered κυκλωθὲν to κύκλῳ, put a stop before καὶ κάτωθεν, and restored ἀπαλλάττουσαι (Ald.H.). 2 cf. 6. 4. S: 7. 8. 3.
2. 3 περικεκλασμένα, i.e. towards the ground. cf. Diosc. 3. 68 and 69, where Plin. (27. 13) renders (φύλλα) ὐποwπερικλᾶται ad terram infracta.
3. ¹ cf. Strabo 16. 1. 147. ² See Index.
4. 2 The name of a tree seems to have dropped out : I have inserted τῇ ἐλάᾳ:. cf. ταῖς ἐλάοις below. Bretzl suggests ἰδέᾳ for ὰ??ίᾳ.
5. ¹ Plin. l.c. Sicco litore radicibus nudis polyporum modo complexae steriles arenas tepectantur: he appears to have had a fuller text.
