Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Harvard Studies in Classical Philology, 1910, Vol. 21
S took it as a correction of fore and so this necessary Word disappeared from their text, while the scribes of E and G kept fore and neglected forte. For somewhat similar behavior by the different scribes in other passages, see Degering, Bert. P/zil. Woe/z. XX, 1900, p. II, and for si gni forte in Vitruvius, cf. 24, 10; 184, 22.
