To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
123 of two texts. I think we may safely infer from this that either the two texts did not exist separately in the time of Alexander, or, at all events, that the difference between them was not nearly so marked as it was in the time of Simplicius. The truth as to the second text at least in this case is, I believe, that the distinction between it and the first arose from the labours of the two rival schools of commentators whose existence or chief activity is limited to the centuries which separ...ate Alexander from Simplicius. The earlier commentators Alexander, Boethus, Nicolaus, Andronicus find and comment on a single text with a large number of variants \ If one reading out of these many variants is adopted by one school of the post-Alexandrian commentators, that in itself is an almost sufficient reason for the other school to adopt some other reading and to argue fiercely in favour of it. As the succession in the two schools is perfectly definite and the antagonism is continually more marked, out of merely a collection of variants there grow up two fairly distinct texts, though the distinction is necessarily one merely of form and not in any way of matter.
