PREFATORY NOTE
As in the preceding volumes of this series, agree-
ment 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
departure from both, have been indicated. An
abridged account of the manuscripts of Plutarch
may be found in the Introduction to the first
volume. Of the 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 Codex Matritensis (M*), on
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 is that of the Teubner Sintenis, and also, unless
