THE CLASSICAL ASSOCIATION THE objects of the Classical Association are to promote the development and maintain the well-being of classical studies, and in particular (a) to impress upon public opinion the claim of such studies to an eminent place in the national scheme of education; (b) to improve the practice of classical teaching; (c) to encourage investigation and call attention to new discoveries; (d) to create opportunities for intercourse among lovers of classical learning. Membership of the Association is open to men and women alike. The annual subscription is 5s. (life composition, £3 15s.), and there is an entrance fee of 5s. (not charged to Libraries).

X. 13. 10, with X. 33. 3. (Fabius Maximus is protesting against his own re-election as consul in defiance of the law.) Et ille quidem in recusando perstabat: quid ergo attineret leges ferri rogitans quibus per eosdem, qui tulissent, fraus fieret; iam regi leges non regere. So M TDLA. But M has rositans or rofitans instead of rogitans, and O cogitans; while PFUp betray the secret by putting rogitans after quibus (see above on 7. 12. 5). The participle is quite superfluous (since the beginning of Or. Obl. is clearly marked by the ergo and the subjunctive attineret), and has come in from the note of a schoolmaster whose syntax was excellent but whose handwriting (of the letters rog-) was less exemplary. The same plaster applied by the same or a similar practitioner burdens a perfectly sound text in 10. 33. 3, where Duker followed the wise scribe of Lov. 4 in cutting it off; in M the faithful Leo had put it in, not without a small preceding siglum which it had worn in the margin, but which Leo's supervisor or someone else has erased from its place, leaving a small blank before the word. Examples of such sigla in front of intrusions will be found in our note on 1. 43. II and Class. Quart. IV. (1910) p. 270; see above p. 12 (on 8. 8. 3). And another follows in 10. 33. 4, where a superfluous agunt, which Madvig's instinct rightly rejected, is given by Leo in M as .agunt; but the siglum was otherwise interpreted by DL who give cogunt; while A honestly reproduces a queer sign which his reader may take as co- or a- according to taste-a cautious method of dealing with obscurities, of which examples are collected in our note on I. 7. 5. Other bits of similar plaster may be observed perhaps at 4. 58. 13 (where B reads rogitantes as rigantes; but where, since the Veronese has rogitantes no less than the Nicomacheans, it must be tolerably old); and in 21. 25. 5 NO.
