Notes on the current edition

Ab Urbe Condita With An English Translation, books 1-10, 21-45, with periochae 11-20

1. The MSS. of Livy provide for decem naves actuarias only. Polybius, however, allows ten decked ships, and it seems necessary then to assume the loss of some words, including a numeral for actuarias. For the sake of simplicity, I have assumed in the translation, though I have not ventured to include it in the text, that this numeral was decem: anything is a guess, since Polybius mentions neither the actuariae nor the moneris. The restriction on moneres should apply equally to such actuariae as could easily be adapted to military uses, so that there may be more corruption in both Livy and Polybius than has been recognized.
