The text of Gronovius is followed, with occasional emendations, and the notes are chiefly selected from the same edition. Schneider's own remarks, which are the most valuable, are principally devoted to comparing, rectifying, or confirming the narratives of his author, with little attention to grammatical illustration. Several learned Excursus, Paralipomena, and three Indexes, contribute to the excellence of this edition. Perhaps, however, Gesner's Prolegomena and Table of Contents, ought to have been added."
