The values of the excitation potential, , and oscillator strength, , of the three lines of the Mg Ib triplet at 5167-83 Å in Table 2 are wrong. The correct values are:

-

Mg I 5167.321 Å:  eV and

-

Mg I 5172.684 Å:  eV and

-

Mg I 5183.604 Å:  eV and .

All the synthetic spectra, as those displayed in Fig. 9, presented in the paper were computed using the correct values for the excitation potential and oscillator strengths of these Mg I lines. Therefore, although we made a mistake in writing the values of and of these lines in Table 2, the Mg abundances presented in the paper are also correct.
