The original paper had an erroneous value for the Srsic index of NGC 205, which was quoted as . We used the surface brightness profile of [1] to derive Srsic . The correct version of Figure 2 is reproduced below. This does not influence any of the conclusions.

Figure 2: The mass of the BH against the Srsic index of the host bulge or disk. We plot the objects as listed in the text. The largest outliers are NGC205 (with   ), POX52 , NGC404 , and NGC1493 ().
