[Transcriber's Notes:
This text marks a few vowels as long which are considered short by
the Oxford Latin Dictionary/OLD (or vice versa).
This affects the following words:
(i) the text uses 'īmmō' (long i); OLD considers 'immō' (short i) correct.
(ii) the text uses 'fūscus' (long first u),
OLD considers fuscus (short u) correct.
(iii) the text uses 'gīgnō' (long i), OLD considers gignō (short i) correct.
(iv) the text uses 'līgna' und 'līgneus'(long i), OLD considers
ligna, ligneus (short i) correct.
(v) 'mīttō' (long i); OLD considers 'mittō' correct.
This affects also the corresponding composites.
(vi) the text uses 'līttera' (long i),
OLD considers 'littera' or 'lītera' correct.
(vii) the text uses 'fūrtum' (long first u), OLD considers furtum (short u)
correct.
(viii) the text uses 'rīxa' (long i), OLD considers rixa (short i) correct.
(ix) the text uses 'īgnis' (long first i);
OLD considers 'ignis' (short first i) correct
(x) the text uses 'pīctor' (long i); OLD considers 'pictor' correct.
(xi) the text uses 'fūscus', OLD considers 'fuscus' correct.
Some prefixes "in-" like insānus, infandus, infas have long 'i' in the text,
but short in OLD.
The text uses once 'calīgō' (short a), once 'cālīgō'. OLD considers
cālīgō (long a) correct. Therefore, this has be corrected.
In the interest of readers using devices which cannot display pictures, these
have been replaced by '[Image: its caption]'. For the few pictures in
the vocabulary section ("index verbōrum")
which are used to explain Latin words, an English
translation has been provided, i.e. 'apis [Image: a bee]'.
For some words, reference is made to a picture of a soldier on page 132
('Vidē pāginam centēsimam trīgēsimum secundam.'). For these words, translations
have been provided as well.
Note that in the vocabulary lists words beginning with vocal/consonant 'i's
separately, but is does not use different letters ('j').]
