orthography: I have not thought it necessary to alter the inconsistent spelling of the Codex (repraesentavi, i. 228, and caenae for cenae. I. 306). Naber has treated the matter fully in his edition, pp. 277-282, and see Weissbrodt in the Braunsberg Ind. led. 1872, 18. The interchange of 6 and v, which occurs very often, was a peculiarity of African Latin, see Brock, Studies in Fronto, p. 178, and so possibly the Codex in this respect may be faithful to Fronto's original spelling. We find velua for belua, brebis for brevis, valneo for balneo, benia for venia, viduo for biduo, civi for cibi, vibo for vivo, and many others. The aspirate Is most capriciously used: Oratins occurs and harena, umor and Hamrno (Ammon), aduc and even hii
