Summary/Abstract: The article deals with six passages in the first book of Velleius Paterculus. In I, 2, 1, Scaliger’s emendation of atavus to abavus is defended; in I, 6, 1–2, it is suggested to read omnino DXX instead of the received †ooLXX†; in I, 12, 7, a conjecture neque ‹quicquam› is suggested; precision of some Velleius’ statements in I, 14, 2 is defended; a new interpretation of the mention of Isocrates in I, 16, 5 is offered; and a correction historicos {et} in I, 17, 2 is suggested.
