\caption {\label{table.t.appendix}Comparison between the indices predicted by the linear fit to
the data at $\sigma=200$~km~s$^{-1}$ and the ones predicted -- at the
same velocity dispersion -- in a passively evolving model with
formation redshifts of $z_{\rm f}=1.4$, $z_{\rm f}=2$ and $z_{\rm
f}=3$.  Column~3 shows the value predicted by the linear fit at
$\sigma=200$~km~s$^{-1}$; Col.~4 shows the standard deviation of the
relation; Col.~5 shows the value predicted by the SSP model; and the
last column shows the $t$~parameter of the comparison of these two
values. A $t$~value higher than~1.9 would indicate that the there is 
a~5\% probability that the two values are different by chance.  As can
be seen, none of the values show significant differences from the
model.}
