This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1887 edition. Excerpt: ...and was running irregularly (incertum iter), its currents drifting unsteadily. 7. elisam confringeret=elideret et confringeret, 'should smash and shatter.' The two words are not synonymous; elisam eXpresses the previous bruising, confringeret the final breaking up. Schenkl's illisam is tempting. aerea testa, which I venture to write on the authority of P, may be supported by Pliny's aerco testo H. N. XXXii. 8I. 8. solitam of M35 can hardly be right, as the pots were on a quite eXceptional journey. solidam seems an easy conjecture, and would aptly eXpress the course taken by the more solid of the companion travellers, at the same time that it suggests the brittlenes s of the other (fragili et solidae 5). Sittl writes the two vv. thus, Ne tamen elisam confiingeret, aerea testa Iurabat solitam longius ire uiam, and eXplains 'Aerea testa fictili, quae longius ire uiam solebat, iu1abat se non elisam confringere eam.' On this view iurabat ne confi-i.ngeret= ' swore not to break, ' with which Sittl compares I. 2. ire=re ituram esse, see on I. I. 'Swore to pursue its metallic course at a distance' from its frailer brother. Prop. iii. 6. 40 Iurabo et bis sex integer esse dim', 'will swear to remain chaste.' 9. ' Fearing it might prove a case qf light damaged by heavy.' Such, I think, is the force of the neuters. A good instance of Av.'s'occasional felicitousness. 10. ' And because confidence cannot eXist between the humble and the eXalted.' Phaedr. i. 5 Numquam est_/idelis cum potente societas. Varro ap. Macrob. S. ii. 8. 3 dulcibus cum 1rs'/em societas irtfida. breui, 1'93 Bpaxsi, 'the small and insignificant.' Forcellini quotes...
