Footnotes

[edit]
  1. ↑ All works marked with a star in Chevalier’s list were used in the present edition, and all but two or three of those added to the list of Chevalier.}}
  2. ↑ Nolte’s article is on the textual emendations needed in the edition of Socrates. The text of our historian has not been as thoroughly and completely examined and corrected as other writings. Valesius’ edition (Hussey) gives an account of a few mss. examined by himself; nothing further has been done of any importance. It is to be hoped that Gebhardt and Harnack may find it convenient to incorporate a new collation and revision in their Texte und Untersuchungen.
  3. ↑ All works marked with a star in Chevalier’s list were used in the present edition, and all but two or three of those added to the list of Chevalier.
  4. ↑ E. Walford, A.M., appears as the translator of Sozomen, not of Socrates. See IV. of Introduction, note 6.
