Notes

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.
