Description: In the present article, proposed corrections to two passages of Cicero’s treatise De fato are examined. It is shown that, on the one hand, a widely accepted correction for §27 that replaces the well attested reading vera fuerunt instantia ... vera erunt instantia with vera fuerit instantia ... vera erit instantia is unnecessary, and that, on the other hand, my recently suggested correction for §48, which replaces the obviously false reading Nam si atomis ..., illud quoque ... with Aut num, si atomis ..., illud quoque ...?, is deficient and should be improved to Nam si atomis ..., num illud quoque ...?
