Apparatus criticus

  • Text of Manganaro 1989 controlled against the stone.;
  • 1: Manganaro did not record the interpuncts. The space for QV[IR] is extremely limited, and can only have been present if combined in ligature
  • 2: Manganaro did not record the interpunct. Again, the space to complete VX[OR] is limited, although not impossible.
