Transcriber’s Note
Lapses of punctuation in the Index have been resolved without further
notice.
Where possible, Greek passages have been checked against Winkelmann's
edition at http://khazarzar.skeptik.net/books/eusebius/vc/gr/index.htm#.
As noted below, a typesetting error in the footnotes, over a few pages,
resulted in the Greek ‘καὶ’ as ‘κὰι’.
The Greek passage in footnote #f136# has been corrected to eliminate a
wide spacing, supplying the first two characters of ‘[πρ]έποντας’ (_De
Vit. Const._, iv., 62.)
The final two words of a Greek passage (‘ἐννοεῖ δῆτα ὁποῖον, δέοι θέον
ἐπιγράψασθαι βοηθὸν’) have been reversed, but are retained.
Other errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected,
and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the
original or to the page, (renumbered) note, and line.
