Prepared by Hoyt N. Duggan, Department of English, The University of
Virginia, Charlottsville, VA 22903.
This text has been proofread twice and checked against both Skeat and
Magoun's editions, sometimes taking one or the other as seemed
reasonable. Emendations are marked with [], and those that involve
alliteration are rhythm have the ms reading given with an asterisk
following the number.

Lines 77-523 were prepared separately and are in upper case with
remnants of syntactic coding.

The Wars of Alexander
This text differs in some respects from the published edition
by Thorlac Turville-Petre and me [EETS SS 10 (1989)]. It
lacks punctuation and is without many, if not most, of the
emendations made metri causa after it was compiled in 1980.
The miscellaneous matter after each line of text is the
remainder of my system of grammetrical coding.
