Footnotes lxxx:2 and lxxx:3

In the original, the marker for footnote 2 on page lxxx was by “not the Majesty of a _Consul_”, but the text of footnote 3 clearly belongs to this marker. It has been assumed that footnote 2 actually belongs to the latin quotation ending “nec ullius acuminis Rusticationem.”
