1 I shall hope to comment elsewhere on Trankle's discussion of individual passages in books 34–7. For the moment I am happy to acknowledge the extent to which his treatment of books 31–3 exposes the superficiality of many of my own comments.

2 Tränkle limits himself to books 24—30 on the grounds that there is general agreement that Livy did not use Polybius directly in books 21—3. On that issue I refrain from committing myself.
