Notes on the current edition

Enquiry into Plants

1. ¹ Plin. 25. 30–33. ² κατὰ conj. St.; καὶ Ald. H.
2. 3 Plin. 25. 151.
3. 4 Σοῦσα: cf. 9. 16. 8; Λοῦσα (a town in Arcadia) conj. Sch. (usually Λοῦσοι), the other places mentioned being all in
4. ¹ ἐκβάλλει conj. Sch.; ἐκβάλλειν Ald.
5. 2 Plin. 25. 93.
6. 3 νάρθηκι ἢ conj. Sch.; ναρθηκίδη ἢ U; ναρθηκίδι ἢ M; νάρθηκι καὶ Ald.
7. ¹ ὀροδάμνων: this word seems to occur only here in T.
8. ² Diosc. 4. 76 and 77; Plin. 27. 9 and 10.
9. 3 καρίδι conj. W; καρίαι U; καρύα AId. cf. Diosc. l.c.
10. 4 cf. 9. 8. 1.
11. 5 Plin. 6. 4, portus Acone veneno aconito dirus. Butin 27. 10. he apparently did not recognise Ἀκόναις as a proper name,
12. ¹ i.e. no herb having that effect.
13. 2 ἑτέρων conj. Sch.; ἕτερόν τι φύεσθαι UAld. H.; ἕτερόν τι φυόμενον conj. W. G seems to have had a fuller text.
14. ³ ἀλλὰ τοὺς ἐγχ. UM; ἀλλά τινες τοῖς ἐνεγκαμένοις βοήθειαι εὕρηνται· τοὺς γὰρ ἐγχ. Ald. H., which the indicative εὕρηνται shews to be a gloss.
15. 4 τοῦ ἐφημέρου U; τὰ ἐφ᾿ ἡμέρον M; καὶ τὸ ἐφήμερον Ald. The passage about ἐφήμερον, which interrupts the account of ἀκόνιτον, is confused, and the text probably defective; trans- lation a makeshift. The sense of εἰ μὴ . . . ὡς δεῖ being perhaps irrecoverable, the connexion of what follows is obscured. W. gives up the passage.
16. ¹ οὖν add. W.
17. ² ἀολουθεῖν κατὰ conj. W.; ἀκοόειν εἶναι κατὰ Ald. H.; ἀκουεῖν εἶναι καὶ M.
