¹ This ul' (= vel) has undoubtedly got into the text of O at XCV. 10, and XXII. 15, and is probably accountable for the monstrous ‘guioclero’ (=‘guro ul’ ero,' i.e. ‘guro vel goero’) at LXVI. 6. See Bährens’ Commentary, ad. loc.

² Professor Ellis on a kindred device in Catullus LXIV. See Catulli Veronensis Liber, p. 260 sq. Cf. also line 3 of the Virgilian parody of this poem (Catal. VI.)—‘Tuone nunc puella talis et tuo,’ which surely suggests a similar ‘iteration’ in the original.
