Apparatus

7.1: MHC 2023, p. 47 prints operario rustico p[ast]<o> diurni, which really stands for … p[ast]{s}<o>, and notes in his apparatus (p. 48) ‘Aphrodisias appears to read [pasti]s clearly. Cf. JMR (ALA1989, 231, p. 274, ch. VIII, 1a), who restored whole line in plural [operariis rusticis pasti]s diurni, atonicea. Though MHC is not entirely consistent in mimicking layout elsewhere as he gives 7.18 on a single line, whereas it occupied two elsewhere. In sections that are lost at Aphrodisias should we simply indicate entry numbers not (hypothetical) line numbers? And, where we do retain subsequent lines for long wrapped entries, should we number them?
