I did not see your second errata report until 
after I had taken care of the first.

The Latin  in footnote 60 has been corrected per your suggestion.

My only exposure to Latin was a class in 
high-school 66 years ago, as a requirement for medical school.

I am encouraged that you are continuing your 
reading and know you will find hundreds of other 
errors in the Latin words. Much of this PG set 
was scanned from my 1836 (Harper and Co) edition 
with the normal print very small, and the 
footnotes half that, well beyond the ability of 
scanners and OCR programs of  12 years ago--it was a nightmare of proofing.

If you have the time to jot down in a list the 
errors you find along the way, I would be most 
grateful to have you send me the list when you 
have completed each volume.  It will be easier to 
simply send me the entire list of errors in an email to this address.

Thanks.

Three errors in eBook 731 (History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman
Empire — Volume 1 by Edward Gibbon), footnote 60:

"Universa quae *ix* quoque belli genere necessaria esse creduntur, secum *
Jegio* debet ubique portare, ut in quovis loco fixerit castra, *arma'am* faciat
civitatem."

should be:

"Universa quae *in* quoque belli genere necessaria esse creduntur, secum l*
egio* debet ubique portare, ut in quovis loco fixerit castra, *armatam* faciat
civitatem."
