and the following
Literally 'et sequitur' means 'and he/she/it follows', as, for example, of a logical consequence. But often, especially when abbreviated to 'et seq.' or (plural) 'et seqq.'--also 'et sq.' and 'et sqq.'--it introduces a reference or references to an authority or authorities on some subject. Here the context seems to me to require this sense.

Veronika McLaren
: Then it usually stands for "et sequentes," but you have a point, considering the context.

You're correct. It does refer to 'et sequens/sequentes'. I don't know where my mind is today!

Olga Cartlidge
: Yours makes just as much sense, given the context which suggests that they were trying to say et quae sequuntur i.e. and what follows.

I agree and have already stated explicitly that Veronika's answer is the most likely interpretation.
