2740. In Part First, in which authors are occasionally cited, but
without direct reference to their works, the usual abbreviations are
employed: as Plaut., Ter., Cic., Verg., Hor., &c., &c.
2741. In Part Second, the principles adopted are as follows:
2742. (1.) A reference consisting of figures alone (as, 2, 2, 3),
denotes book, chapter, and section of Caesar _de Bello Gallico_.
2743. (2.) A reference to a work (in italics), without a preceding
abbreviation for the author’s name (as, _TD._ 1, 2; _Mil._ 3), denotes
the book and section, or the section only, of a work by Cicero. The
abbreviations used to denote his works are given in the list below
(2745).
2744. (3.) A reference made to Vergil (V.), followed by figures alone,
is a reference to the _Aeneid_: as, V. 1, 20. Similarly, H. stands alone
for the _Odes_ of Horace; O. alone for the _Metamorphoses_ of Ovid; and
Ta. alone for the _Annals_ of Tacitus.
2745. (4.) Roman letters are used in the abbreviations of the names of
authors, _italics_ in the abbreviations of the names of their works, as
in the following List:--
