The Notice that appeared in the Reporter on 16 December 2009 (2009–10, p. 433) was incorrect and incomplete. The amended Regulation 23 pertains to Part II of the Tripos, not Part Ib; the Notice should also have referred to the removal of proviso (3) from Regulation 24. The complete corrected Notice is as follows:
(Statutes and Ordinances, p. 289)
Paper 8 (Greek and Roman philosophy) of Part Ib of the Classical Tripos will replace Paper 4 (History of ancient philosophy) in Part Ib of the Philosophy Tripos. In consequence, the third provisos in Regulations 23 and 24 of the Classical Tripos are redundant. The regulations have been amended as follows:
Regulation 17.

Paper 8. Greek and Roman philosophy (also serves as Paper GL.18 of the Modern and Medieval Languages Tripos and as Paper 4 in Part Ib of the Philosophy Tripos).
