#### Notes

Best efforts were made to compile the apparatus from the editor's footnotes. However, certain information [as to the start of certain apparatus entries and as to the variant forms in manuscripts not cited] has been lacking. To ensure a more faithful correspondence with the variant readings given by Dottin, it would have been necessary to tag some of them as *one apparatus entry within another*. Since TEI restrictions do not allow for this, it had to be abandoned. In case of doubt it is recommended to consult the manuscripts.
