I find it difficult to agree with this opinion as applied to any ancient text. It is doubly difficult when the text at hand is Horace's Satires. Without the kind of learning represented in Muecke's commentary, the ability to read these important texts is in danger of being lost. The merely obscure or allusive will become impenetrable. This is a useful book which will smooth the road to understanding for everyone, Latinist or not, who reads Book 2 of the Satires.
Outright errors are rare and misprints few.
In the Latin text of the same satire, line 225 has been misplaced to follow 227. There are no other misprints of any consequence. None of these minor slips detracts from the utility of this edition, which will point many readers to new and productive understandings of the Satires.
