1 A scansion like this I can only characterize by a line constructed after the same model:
Prósŏdiam quam pérŏ;dit Musa, inámoĕnam, pérhŏ;rridam, inŭ;tilem!
2 The next line begins with perdidi, which may easily have perverted the form of the Superlative. Pessumus has been proposed. I have aho thought of peritissimus, from a possible perĭlus (like subitus) from pereo (cf. puppis pereunda est probe Epid. 74).
