ORDER OF THE EDITIONS.
Epistle to the Emperor Jovian. Epistle of Jovian to Athanasius. Petitions of the Arians to Jovian against Athanasius. Sermon on the Passion of the Lord.
This order commonly appears in old manuscripts, and it is the custom of amanuenses to note the number of each book in the margin, so that in some codices they count many various epistles inserted here and there among the works of Athanasius. From this it has resulted that where the same epistles lay copied twice—which is observed in the case of not a few, which existed both in the *Apology against the Arians* and in the *Epistle to the Monks*—the scribes, in order not to appear to be doing the work twice over, refrained from copying them a second time, indicating that they were already contained previously by these words: *Εγράφη ὀπίσω ἐν τῷ μη'*, or *ἐν τῷ ξn'*, for example, noting the number placed above.
