Facsimile in appendix to Foerster's edition of 1892. Editions: W. Foerster in Wiener Studien, XIV (1892), p. 278; W. Foerster und E. Koschwitz, Altfranz. Übungsbuch, 6th ed., Leipzig, 1921, Appendix; F. Slotty, Vulgärlateinisches Übungsbuch, Bonn, 1918, p. 29. See also K. Ullmann in Romanische Forschungen, VII (1892), p. 145; G. Paris, Mélanges linguistiques, Paris, 1906, p. 32.] The Appendix Probi is the fragment of a work which aimed at teaching correct Latin by pointing out common errors in the speech of the uneducated. Only a selection is given below. Probus appears to have lived in the 3rd century A.D.; according to Ullmann and Foerster he was a teacher or a pupil at the paedagogium of Caput Africae in Rome, but G. Paris inclined to think that he was a grammarian settled at Carthage in Africa. 8 MS. serptizonium (t is written above p) non serpidonium (a later hand has struck out r and added ti above pi); Ullmann reads septidionium.
