Q. Curtii de gestis Alexandri Magni, libri XII. Quorum, qui temporis iniuria intercidera[n]t, duo priores, ex Arriano, Diodoro, Iustino, alijsq́[ue] probatiss[imis] authoribus restituti: lacunaeq́[ue] hincinde repletae: duo uerò posteriores, H. Glareani studio distincti. Ita ut Curtius antea mancus octoq́[ue] saltem libris cognitus, nunc integer dici possit. Quibus Alexandri Magni uitam praeposuimus. Praeterea, adiecimus Alexandri ad Aristotelem, de Indiæ situ, populis & belluis, epistolam. Item, Erasmi Roterodami annotationes: & elegantiarum flores Hul. Hutteni, in Curtium. Postremò, Hen. Glareani annotationes, nunc primùm in lucem editæ, adiectæ sunt. Cum locupletissimo rerum uerboru[mque] indice.
