    111 ] Par. 1680 213 Athenee, par Marolles, 4to. - 214 Anthologta Grasca, manuscript, folio. This is a transcript by the celebrated Brunck of 743 inedited Greek Epigrams, from a MS. in the King of France’s Library. The original compilation was made by Guyet, who bequeathed it to Menage. In a note at the end of the volume, Brunck says he transcribed it in 17694 “ sedulo et quanta potui diligentia.” It may be added that this transcript far exceeds the original in interest and value, from the notes and references to critical works with which Brunck has enriched it. 212* Apollonius Rhodius Variorum et Iioelzlini, L.
