On the Text of Juvenal I. 115.1
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 11 February 2009
Extract
Amongst the readings of the Parisian codex collated by Mr. Stuart (supra pp. 1–7) which he classes as interpolations is one whose singularity at once arrests attention. In the well-known passage, I. 113 sqq., where all known MSS. including P have
etsi, funesta Pecunia, templo
nondum habitas, nullas nummorum ereximus aras,
ut colitur Pax atque Fides Victoria Virtus
quaeque salutato crepitat Concordia nido,
II presents firma instead of atque.

(not know- ing that Tibullus lengthens a vowel before sp); ii. 5. 95, ‘operata,’ ‘operta’ (A, the tradition), ‘et operta’ the Vatican MS. and probably i. 6. 46 ‘et amans’ codd. for ‘amens,’ already corrupted to ’ amans.’
