Other important or interesting readings from the edition of the Benedictines have also been included in the critical apparatus. One probably important fact has been noted in the process of this work: the Benedictine editors frequently quoted readings as found only in the earlier editions (editi antiqui), and apparently without any MS. authority, but our collation of E has shown most of these readings to exist also in that MS."Editi antiqui" is an odd enough expression for earlier editions (sc. libri, I assume), but even worse is the repeated presence in Deferrari's critical apparatus of "editi antiqi" (e.g. pp. 110, 112, 114, etc., a hundred or so examples, according to Google Books). These misprints persist in the Digital Loeb Classical Library.
