1 But ‘viz.’ occurs far too often.

2 E.g. 1. 2. 20 communis sensus (‘common sense’ is quite misleading); 1. 10. 5 ‘horns and crocodiles’ would puzzle the uninitiate, as likewise the ‘Embankment’ in 12. 10. 74; and ‘grammarian’ should certainly not be used for grammaticus without an explanation, despite the remarks in the Introduction.

3 2. 4. 9; so Watson; Butler has ‘harsh’; but surely ‘dry’ (in the technical sense) is meant, or something very like it.
