The grounds adduced are generally grammatical in the modern sense of the word, concerning accidence, vocabulary, or syntax, but sometimes invoke palaeography, logic, or other matters of content. Previous scholars, and also translations, are frequently cited in order either to credit the person first on record as having understood the text correctly or to indicate the source of a current misinterpretation. The preliminary matter includes an extensive list, significantly expanded from that drawn up by Martin Hertz, of places where scribes have inadvertently corrupted the text through inappropriate importation of the Christian terms with which they were familiar, while a separate appendix contains corrections to and revisions of passages in the author's previously published monograph \u003cem\u003eAulus Gellius: An Antonine Scholar and his Achievement\u003c\/em\u003e (OUP 2003, corrected paperback 2005) and article '\u003cem\u003eRecht as een Palmen-Bohm\u003c\/em\u003e and other Facets of Gellius' Medieval and Humanistic Reception' in \u003cem\u003eThe Worlds of Aulus Gellius\u003c\/em\u003e (co-edited with Amiel D.
