Appendix I:  The Ordo Generis Cassiodororum
<p><a name=1>1. Hermann Usener, <i>Anecdoton Holderi</i> (1877).

<p><a name=2>2. I have seen editions in the prefaces to Mommsen's editions
of Jordanes and of the <i>Variae;</i> in C. Cipolla, <i>Memorie della
Reale Accademia delle Scienze di Torino,</i> Ser. 2, 43(1893), 99-134; in
J.J. van den Besselaar, <i>Cassiodorus Senator en zijn Variae</i> (1945),
206 (where he makes certain unfortunate silent emendations that only serve
to obscure important points); and at the beginning of Fridh's introduction
to his edition of the <i>Variae.</i>

<p><a name=3>3. The MSS are described by Mynors in the introduction to his
edition of the <i>Inst.,</i> pp. xxxii-xxxiii. Cappuyns' discussion of the
<i>Ordo generis</i> with his suggested readings occurs in <i>DHGE,</i>
11(1949), 1367-1368. 

<p><a name=4>4. G. Schepss, <i>Neues Archiv,</i> 11(1886), 123-140. One
such manuscript is St. Gall 845, cited in P. Courcelle, <i>La Consolation
de Philosophie dans la tradition litt&eacute;raire</i> (1967), 275. Others
are Einsiedeln 179 and Metz 377; readings from all three are cited in the
edition given by Cipolla, <i>op cit.,</i> 133-134; the only one of
interest (but undoubtedly only a scribal correction) is "imitatur" for
"imitatus" in line 14 (in Einsiedeln and Metz, but not St. Gall).

Appendix II:  Cassiodorus' Name

<p><a name=5>1.</a> <i>Memoires de l'Academie des inscriptions et belles-
lettres,</i> 19. 1(1851), 63.

<p><a name=6>2.</a> G. Downey, <i>Ancient Antioch</i> (1963), 30, 97,
treats epochs in the cultivation of this deity.

<p><a name=7><i>3.</a> CCSL</i> 96, vi.

<p><a name=8>4.</a> Julian, <i>Misopogon</i> 361D-362B; Ammianus 22.
14.4-5.

<p><a name=9><i>5.</a> IG</i> 4.136a = <i>CIG</i> 2, add. 2322b(32);
<i>IG</i> 3.2.2325; <i>CIG</i> 3.4466. All three are reprinted in J.J. 
van den Besselaar, <i>Cassiodorus Senator en zin Variae</i> (1945), 205,
but he erroneously gives the double sigma to all three. 

<p><a name=10>6.</a> MS Verona XXXIX(37); Lowe, <i>CLA</i> 4.496,
dated the MS to late sixth century, northern Italy.

<p><a name=11>7.</a> M.J. Cappuyns, <i>DHGE,</i> 11(1949), 1350.

Appendix IV:  Momigliano's Hypothesis
<p><a name=12>1.</a> A. Momigliano, <i>PBA,</i> 41(1955), 207-245,
esp. 216-220; he has repeated many of these contentions, with no new
evidence, in his <i>Secondo contributo alla storia degli studi
classici</i> (1964), 231-253; and now treats his hypothesis as a proven
fact, as at <i>Annali de la Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa, Classe di
Lettere e Filosofia</i>,<i></i> 3.2(1973), 397-418. 

<p><a name=13>2.</a> Neither in the <i>Ordo generis</i> nor in the
<i>Variae</i> are Boethius and Symmachus called Anicii; the only Anicius
called by that name anywhere in Cassiodorus' own works is one Maximus
<i>(Var.</i> 10. 11.2, 10.11.3), a luminary of low wattage, honored with a
meaningless office on the occasion of his marriage to a minor Gothic
princess: a union of Amal and Anicius about which Cassiodorus makes little
fuss. 

<p><a name=14>3.</a> N. Wagner, <i>Getica</i> (1967), 51-56, provides
a crucial demonstration of the possibility--which is all that is needed to
offset Momigliano's contrary possibility; see the tentative genealogy
given in the preceding appendix. 

<p><a name=15>4.</a> The twelve-part pattern was broken by Jordanes,
but see Chapter 2, note 24, above, for speculation on traces of the
pattern. Note that the division of the <i>Edictum Athalarici (Var.</i>
9.18) into twelve <i>capitula</i> is native with Cassiodorus <i>(Var.</i>
9.19.2).
