From the difficulty of printing in a learned language at a provincial, press, where, although the correct and elegant execution of the English part of this book cannot fail to recommend itself to every reader, there is no occasion for, and therefore no supply of Greek types, I am obliged to compress this note into a small compass, and refer the learned reader to Suicer in 'Exegos, Diog.
