I also suggested vitro in usque and visu in usque and vitri more. Haupt proposed horribile aequor ultimosque Ellis horribilem insulam ultimosque: Conington horribilem usque ad ultimosque. Most modern edd. accept Haupt's conjecture: but aequor is very unlikely so soon after aequora in 8. The old edd. are divided between horribilesque et, so m Scaliger: horribiles et, m Voss : or retain horribilesque ultimosque with hiatus, as Vulpius and Doering. 13 fere GOM. 22 Cui GOm. cecidi Pluygers.

ostendet G ostendit M. Ellis obelizes ; he records seventeen conjectures. 'diva miluorum,' the goddess of hawks (i.e. thieves), is Laverna. The metaphor of hawk is kept up in aves; in involasti; in unguibus.

Cf. Plaut. Pseud. 3. 2. 62: An tu inuenire postulas quemquam coquom Nisi miluinis aut aquilinis ungulis? Another cook says Aul. 3. 2. 31: Ita me bene amet Lauerna. I think Catullus had these passages in his mind. Mr. Starkie refers me also to Ar. Av. 1623 etc. where the ikтîvos is the type of bath thieves etc. As to mss. the change is almost nil: for miluorum might be written miluor: G for instance has balnearior xxxIII. I, gnator LXIV. 349 with a slight curve after the r: and e being often confounded in GO miluor is the simplest possible transposition for mulier: and aues is similarly =alios (as u=li): to say nothing of the independent tradition for aues itself. 11 Inusta Calpurnius Insula GOM. conscribilent GOM, Baehr. in Comm. conscribilent flagella Turnebus. 12 minuta ed. 1473:
