Book excerpt: Excerpt from Plutarch's Lives, Vol. 4 of 11: With an English Translation by Bernadotte Perrin As in the preceding volumes of this series, agreement between the Sintenis (Teubner, 1873-1875)and Bekker (Tauchnitz, 1855-1857) texts of the Parallel Lives has been taken as the basis for the text. Any preference of the one to the other, where they differ, and any departure from both, have been indicated in the critical notes. The more important ameliorations of the text which have been secured by collations of Codex Parisinus 1676 (F)and Codex Seitenstettensis (S), have been introduced. The relative importance of these Mss. is explained in the Introduction to the first volume. The texttradition of the chapters of the Crassus (xv.- xxxiii.) which appear in the Parthian War attributed to Appian (Fseudo-Appian), is seldom, if ever, superior to that of the same chapters in Plutarch. No attempt has been made, naturally, to furnish either a diplomatic text or a full critical apparatus. The reading which follows the colon in the critical notes is that of the Teubner Sintenis, and also, unless otherwise stated in the note, of the Tauchnitsi Bekker.
