1 DB: This is the first occasion where superscript
o is added above c (for cento). With the exception of the next year number, this
is a regular feature from now on.
1 DB: Initially written ‘25’ years. CM (ed. Mommsen, §320) has 22 years 3 months (XXII an. III mensibus).
2 DB: This
sentence is exactly as in CM (ed. Mommsen, §330), except that Melito (the name of the bishop of Sardis) has been omitted, leaving
the epithet Asianus on its own.
3 DB: CM (ed.
Mommsen, §325) reads Hi primum aequo iurae imperium
administrauerunt, cum usque ad hoc tempus singuli Augusti fuerint
(‘These administered the empire first with equal right, when up to this time
there had been individual Augustuses’); in the Chronicle of Melrose imperatores has been added before primum, and the omission of tempus after ad hoc leaves the reader to infer what hoc, ‘this’, refers to.
