Excerpt from On the Crown In revising the text I have in most cases followed the ah thority of the Codex 2, especially when it is supported by its companion L'. See Essay vn. In preparing the commentary I have been constantly aided by the long line of editors, whose names are too familiar to need mention. I must, however, ex press my great obligation to Westermann and Blass, especially for references to parallel passages and for other illustrations. I have found it impossible to give credit for every remark and reference which may be borrowed from these or other recent editors: many of these are found in the notes of Dissen and the older editors, and many have long been in my own collection of notes. Nothing is harder to trace than old references, and most of those relating to Demosthenes on the Crown may now be assumed to be common property.
