1495.Wachsmuth prints deest, is missing, beneath each of the following twelve preserved headings. Their chapter texts are missing, rather than surviving but untranslated. Περιορᾶν here is to overlook or neglect friends when they need help.

1496.Συναδικεῖν with τοῖς φίλοις means to share in wrongdoing with one’s friends. The heading distinguishes friendship from complicity; its missing excerpts would have developed that distinction.

1497.Γνήσιοι are genuine friends, while ἀβέβαιοι are unstable or unreliable. The printed heading retains this contrast; no negative is inserted before genuine from the alternative mentioned in the apparatus.

1498.Διαλλαγαί are reconciliations. Ἀμνηστία here is not keeping the faults in memory, rendered putting them out of mind; the heading supplies no particular dispute or political setting. The comparative ῥᾷον, more lightly, is retained.
