Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 2 of 10: With an English Translation; Themistocles and Camillus, Aristides and Cato Major, Cimon and Lucullus
As in the first volume of this series, agreement between the Sintenis (teubnei', 187 3-1875) and Bekker (tauchnitz, 1855 - 1857) texts of the Parallel Lives has been taken as the basis for the text. Any preference of one to the other Where they differ, and any departure from both, have been in dicated. The more important ameliorations of the text which have been secured by collations of Codex Parisinus 1676 (f') and Codex Seitenstettensis (s), haye been introduced. The relative importance of these mss. Is explained in the Introduction to the first volume. No attempt has been made, naturally, to furnish either a diplomatic text or a full critical apparatus. The reading which follows the colon in the critical notes is that of the Teubner Sintenis, and also, unless otherwise stated in the note, of the Tauchnitz Bekker.
