Item 2 - Letter from A. E. Housman to W. H. Semple

1 folded sheet

Trinity College
3 Dec. 1925

Dear Mr Semple,

The text in which to read Symmachus would be Seeck’s, Mon Germ. {1} auct. ant. VI i. I don’t know of any commentary: you might look to see if Lectius, 1604, starred by J. E. B. Mayor, would be of use.

Yours sincerely
A. E. Housman.

{1} ‘Hist.’ was probably left out here by mistake. The reference is to the section of the series Monumenta Germaniae Historica relating to ancient authors (auctores antiquissimi).
