[Footnote 1: The scribe wrote _gentiorem_: a somewhat later corrector changed it to _genitorem_ by adding an _i_ above the line between _n_ and _t_ and cancelled the _i_ after _t_.] [Footnote 2: Above the _m_ a somewhat later hand wrote _n_. It was cancelled by a crude modern hand using lead.] [Footnote 3: _u_ added above the line by the later hand.] [Footnote 4: _ex_ added above the line by the later corrector.] [Footnote 5: _cis_ is added in the margin by the later hand. The original scribe wrote _nes_ | _se_.] [Footnote 6: _c_ is added above the line by the later hand.] [Footnote 7: _e_ added above the line.] {fol. 52v} ·EPISTULARUM· FACTUM MEUM COMPROUASSE UIDEAN TUR MAGNI TAMEN AESTIMO SCIRE QUID SENTIAS TU NAM CUIUS INTEGRA RE CON SILIUM EXQUIRERE O^{P}TASSEM[1] HUIUS ETIA_M_ PERACTA IUDICIȦUM[2] NOSSE MIRE CONCU 5 PISCO CUM PUBLICUM OPUS MEA PECU NIA INCHOATURUS IN TUSCOS EXCUCURIS{SE_M_ AC} {CEPTO UT PR} COMMEATU[3] LEGATI PROVINCIAE {above COMMEATU: AEFECTUS AERARI} BAETICAE QUESTURI DE PROCONSULATUṠ[4] CAECILII CLASSICI ADVOCATUM ME A SE 10 NATU PETIERUNT COLLEGAE OPTIMI MEIQ_UE_ AMANTISSIMI DE COMMUNIS OFFICII NE CESSITATIB_US_ PRAELOCUTI EXCUSARE ME ET EXIMERE TEMPTARUNT FACTUM ṪU̇Ṁ[5] EST SENATUS CONSULTUM PERQUAM 15 HONORIFICUM UT DARE^{R}[6] PROVINCIALIB_US_ PATRONUS SI AB IPSO ME IMPETRASSENT LEGATI RURSUS INDUCTI ITERUM ME IA_M_ PRAESENTEM ADUOCATUM POST^{U}LAUE[7] RUNT INPLORANTES FIDEM MEAM 20 QUAM ESSENT CONTRA MASSAM BAE BIUM EXPERTI ADLEGANTES PATRO^{C}INII[8] FOEDUS SECUTA EST SENATUS CLARIS SIMA ADSENSIO QUAE SOLET DECRETA PRAECURRERE TUM EGO DESINO IN 25 QUAM P.

Noticing his error, he erased _sem_ and wrote it at the end of the preceding line, and added the omitted words over the erasure and the word _commeatu_.] [Footnote 4: The dot over _s_ indicates deletion.] [Footnote 5: _tum_: error due to diplography.
