[CONFIRMATION]. RIC lists all ten officinae (A-I). However, officinae B-Δ, ς-H and I are listed after VG, i.e. Voetter, and in footnote 2 on p. 636 Sutherland adds: "It seems highly doubtful if all the officinae recorded in VG. actually struck". Therefore only officinae A, Є and Є/Δ should be treated as undoubtedly attested in RIC.
