F is Milan, Ambrosianus 120 (B 98 sup.);. foll. III. (paper) + 227 (parchment); cmm. 25, 1 × 17, 8, with thirty lines to the page; cent. early XV. Contents: ff. 1v–125v, Apollonius Rhodius, Argonautica, with marginal and interlinear scholia; followed by his Life. 127, Batrachomyomachia. 132v, Pseudo-Herodotus, Life of Homer. 142v Maximus of Tyre, πῶς <ἄν> τις ἄλνπος ἐἲη (Dissert. XXXIV. Dübner). 145, Orpheus, Argonautica. 168v, ἐπήκοοι καἰ πρòς ἑρπετἀ, i.e. Orpheus, Lithica, Il. 91–110, 115–140, 145–171, 176–202, 207–233, 238–266, 271–300, 305–332, 337–364, 369–398, 467–498, 500–531, 533–564, 566–774. 178v–209r, Homeric Hymns III.–XXXIII. 209r, ‘Homeric’ epigram εἰς ξένους (Hom. Epigr. I. Baum.). 209r–227v, Callimachus, Hymns, with marginal and interlinear scholia. 227V, four lines (ύμνῶ τòν έψίζυγον…τὴν παλαιτέ-ραν). The manuscript is bound in leather. Marks of gatherings are lacking from the Callimachean portion. All the writing is in the same small and very neat hand. Ligatures abound. In the text, final letters (one, two, or three together, in full or abbreviated forms) are frequently written above those which precede them; in the same position, but in the middle of a word, α and abbreviated εν appear frequently; αι, ε, σ or ς, and abbreviated ον and ας, rarely. Iota subscr. is not regularly employed. Horizontal supralinear strokes are used 38 times to indicate names of persons. The scribe was a careful copyist. His major errors, not found in the common stock either of the manuscripts in general or of the z group, nor shared with G and H, number only 25 (permutation of letters, 7; omission and insertion of letters, 15; mis-division of words, 3); his minor, 43 (including 35 of accent).

page 61 note 2 Orsini's inventory (de Nolhac, , op. cit. p. 344Google Scholar) thus describes the MS.: ‘97. Theocrito integro et riveduto da Pietro Candido con un edyllio di più, Hymni de Callimacho. Osservationi sopra le locutioni poetiche. Petosiris epistolae ad Necepsum regem et altre cose, libro riveduto tutto da Pietro Candido, coperto di cartone, in papiro in –4°’ (my italics). That this volume is a composite of several originally detached MSS.; that f. 58 seems to go with ff. 35–57, Callimachus being thus gathered in ternions or quaternions; and that the alterations in Callimachus appear to come from the text–hand—all these facts point to Candido's not having used his pen on the Callimachean portion of I.

page 62 note 1 Only the first hand of I is meant throughout the following discussions, except where the second is expressly indicated.
page 62 note 2 z detached means the common ancestor of the seven MSS.; attached to a reading, it will be used to indicate the consensus of FHIBν. Where G or Λ is not added to z, the term cett. does not include either MS.; but known opposition of either to z will be set forth. G is cited mainly on Schneider's authority, with a few additions from Nigra; Λ, exclusively from Nigra. Ed. pr. is cited in evidence of its connexion with I, and is called ‘Lasc.’
page 63 note 1 Λ, of which I have very few readings, is seldom cited here or for genders.
page 66 note 1 z 2 indicates below, sometimes the common source of GHΛIBν, sometimes (i.e. when attached to a reading) only the consensus of HIBν.
page 66 note 2 That Bν is a copy of I will be proved later, For the inversion cf. q from Q at VI. 77 (C.Q. 1920. p. 74, note 2).
page 67 note 1 π with the top open would resemble γ with the second stroke looped.
page 67 note 2 It seems likely, in view of the marked diversities between GHΛ and I, that they are respectively descended from two ‘sons’ of z 2. Of course, it is possible that more than one generation intervened, in either or both cases; and this would make the problem at VI. 92 (below) more comprehensible.
page 71 note 1 Cross-currents number only 13, viz., 1 major and 8 minor cases of FI against HBν; 1 minor case of FI against GH; and 1 major and 2 minor cases of FBν against HI.
