Φασι δε και Αρατον πυθεσθαι αυτού, [Τιμωνος] πως την Ομηρου ποίησιν ασφαλώς
κτησαιτο τον δε ειπείν, Ει τοις αρχαιοις αντιγράφοις εντυγχανοι, και μη τοις ηδη
διωρθωμένοις.

Diog. Laertii Timon. Amst. 4to. 1698, p. 600.

"And surely, if men, by the help of that blessed art of correcting old copies,
proceed to amend, and upon private fancie doe presumne thus to alter publike
records, shortly wee shall have just cause generally to esteeme those copies most
correct, which least have been corrected."-Explication of a place in Polybius, at
the end of Sir H. Savile's Tacitus, 1622, p. 224, John Bill.

Quæ in veteribus libris reperta mutare imperiti solent, dum Librariorum in.
sectari inscitiam volunt, suam confitentur.-Quint. L. ix. c. iv.
