Descrizione: [Abstract] In his 1983 edition of Cicero, De lege agraria, Vaclav Marek proposed a new interpretation of the ancient editorial subscription by the classical grammarian Statilius Maximus that is transmitted together with these speeches. Marek’s interpretation greatly improves our understanding of this important record, which is the earliest known editorial subscription to any text of the Latin classics. However, Marek’s reading has not been widely noticed or adopted. The present contribution explains why it is preferable to the conventional interpretation of the subscription, on grounds of manuscript transmission, language, and the practicalities of ancient editing.
