PREFATORY NOTE As in the preceding volumes of this series, agreement between the Sintenis (Teubner, 1873-1875) and Bekker (Tauchnitz, 1855-1857) editions of the Parallel Lives has been taken as the basis for the text. Any preference of one to the other, and any An departure from both, have been indicated. abridged account of the manuscripts of Plutarch may be found in the Introduction to the first

Of the

volume.

Lives presented in this volume, the

Agesilaiis and Pompey are contained in the Codex Sangermanensis (S^) and the Codex Seitenstettensis (S), and in a few instances weight has been given

to readings

from

the authority of the collations of Charles Graux, as published

in

Bursians

Jnhreshericht

(1884).

No

attempt has been made, naturally, to furnish either a diplomatic text or a full critical apparatus. For these, the reader

must

still

be referred to the major

edition of Sintenis (Leipzig, 1839-1846, 4 voll., 8vo). The reading which follows the colon in the critical

notes vi

is

that of the

Teubner

Sintenis,

and

also, unless

of

the

utilized, including that
