1 all the commentators are agreed that the common reading, προσιόντων, cannot stand. I have followed Ermerins in adopting a conjectural emendation suggested by Petit in part.
2 It must be admitted, that the text is not in a satisfactory state; and yet I have not seen any emendation which I can think of adopting. For πάθεϊ, Ermerins reads βάθεϊ, which occurs in the margin of Henisch's edition; but I am not aware that this term is ever applied to any part of the uterus. The same objection applies to his use of τὼ πόδε in the next sentence. Were I disposed to meddle with the text at all, I should substitute βάρεϊ.
3 i gratefully acknowledge the benefit I have derived from many verbal emendations made by Ermerins in this chapter.
4 The common reading, ἐμποιήσι, is condemned by all the editors. I have adopted the ingenious emendation of Ermerins.
