Other faultes we referre to the correction of the Reader.
There bee also certaine _Accents_ wanting in the Greeke words which,
because we had them not, are pretermitted: so haue wee byn fayne to let
the Greeke words run their full length, for lacke of _Abbreuiations_.

Errors and Inconsistencies (English Translation)
_Fleming’s Errata_
The form “X for Y” means is “X is a misprint for Y”, not “substitute
X for Y”.
In the last page of the Epistle Dedicatory, _Quæ_ for _Qui_
[qui tantam gratiam conciliauit]
Page. 3. _Grecians_ for _Græcians_,
[the _Græcians_ by thys word ιχνευτήν]
[_the spelling “Grecians” also occurs on p. 25, where it has
been changed for consistency:_
This dogge in like maner of _Græcians_ is called οἰκουρος]
Page. 28. _Canis Cultos_ for _Canis Custos_,
[Of the latinists _Canis Custos_, in Englishe the Dogge keeper.]
Page. 38. _Britanica_ for _Britannica_.
[our worcke entituled _De Ephemera Britanica_]
References to Greek accents and abbreviations apply to the book
as originally published. As noted in the editor’s introduction (quoted
at the end of the e-text), Greek was regularized in this reprint. Minor
errors are listed below.
_Typographical Errors_
Headers in the form “Of the Dogge called...” were printed with or
without commas and have not been regularized. Variation between W
and VV is unchanged.

identified._]
