page 157 note 1 The case for Epistles i was argued in the edition of Krüger–Hoppe (16th edn., 1920), known to me only from Schuster's article on Vinnius Asina in R.E. ix A. 1. 150.
page 157 note 2 Horace, ed. Wickham, ii (1891), 276. He might have added the question: Is this the way Horace would have made a formal presentation?

page 158 note 5 There is of course an illogicality here, since the seals of letters were designed to keep them secret from those other than the addressees; but the seals are equally out of howplace if Horace is sending the Odes after publication.

page 158 note 9 Hor. Sat. i. 10. 66, 75; ii. 1. 63. Cf. Ep. ii. 1. 69 (carmina Liui—presumably his Odyssey) and A.P. 91 (of comedy).
page 158 note 10 In C.Q. N.s. ix (1959) pp. 75–6; R.G.M. Nisbet suggested that the Vinnius of Ep. i. 13 was the centurion of that name in Augustus' praetorian guard mentioned by Pliny as a man of remarkable strength. He noted, howplace ever, that we cannot be sure that this Vinnius as early as 23 B.C. If the epistle was written three years later the identification might be thought a little more plausible.
