Extract

In the Classical Quarterly, vol. ii. No. 2, reviewing Breiter's recent text of the Astronomica, together with Housman's edition of Book i, I made a number of suggestions of my own on some of the principal difficulties in the text and interpretation of Manilius. I did not, however, bring my notes down beyond Book i. In the present paper I propose to traverse some of the more thorny places of ii. and iii. I shall try to make what I have to say to some extent a continued review of Breiter (and even of Housman).

References

page 176 note 1 eximo quod became eximioq., and the -q was then omitted metri gratia; eximiam followed, for which eximium is a mere blunder. Reviewing this passage I now think that eximum perhaps stands for consilium = csilium = exilium. Cf. consilium in 4. 900 (a closely parallel passage).

page 178 note 1 In that passage, too, some of the difficulties may come from omissions. One or more lines beginning mitto quod may very well have dropped out.

page 181 note 1 Bentley's (or Huet's: cf. Ellis ad loc.) correction decuma at 5. 53 is just such another mathematically demonstrable emendation.
