[406] 394 Mergetur, visus effugietque tuos.

[418] 406 Gratare, Iliacis turaque pone focis.

[562] 542 Vertice libatas accipiuntque comas.

In the remaining Books this is less frequent. The Editor has noticed only fourteen other instances.

K.

A friend has pointed out the extreme rarity, in Ovid's Elegiacs, of a defective caesura or of an elision at the caesura of the hexameter.

Thus, in the 4,977 lines of the Fasti there are only 11 instances.

In the 3,972 lines of the Heroides 11.

In the 3,530 lines of the Tristia only 2.

Heroides I. 87, 95; VI. 37; VII. 47, 55; XI. 13; XII. 181; XV. 113, 173; XVI. 335; XXI. 137.

Tristia II. 87, 285 (?); III. 37.

入.

The following irregularities of scansion occur in the Fasti: contigerunt, vagiĕrunt, horruěrunt, audiěrunt, compulĕrunt.

Short final syllable lengthened in arsis: rediit three times, abit twice, petit (perf.), and III. 97 'quis tunc aut Hyadās, aut Pleiadas Atlanteas' and is of fut. perf. twice lengthened, II. 517 qua positus fueris in statione mane': I. 17 dederis in carmina vires.'

:

For pro in compounds see Note on III. 331.

a (1st decl.) retained in Greek words IV. 163 Rhea (see Note) : V. 115 Amalthea; VI. 433 Leucothea; IV. [177] Electrā.

Final Ŏ Curio II. 403: Semo VI. 194 (where see Note); puto when parenthetically used.

post čă occurs several times at the beginning of lines (e.g. I. 165, II. 431).

Hiatus occurs in II. 43 'Naupactoo Acheloo.'

Pentameters end with fluminibus (V. 528) and funeribus (VI. 568) but Ovid almost invariably closes the couplet with a dissyllable.

Nine hexameters have spondaic endings, all but one of which consist wholly or partly of a proper name.

Irregular ablative in e, in a subst., V. 325 rete: and in adjs., III. 634 amne perenne: VI. 138 extaque de porca cruda bimenstre tenet. (See Note on III. 634.)

In V. 517, stanti milite iusto, the abl. in i used in a strictly participial sense is very unusual (see Note).

In V. 185 and 376 mensum occurs as gen. pl. of mensis: in IV. 212 and 357 caelestum.

In III. 487 audibat for audiebat.

In I. 287 and V. 636 face for fac.

V.

i. quoque is used as a conjunction

in IV. 52 Venit Aventinus (sc. rex) post hos, locus unde

vocatur;

Mons quoque.

in IV. 69 Dux quoque Neritius, testes Laestrygones exstant.

ii. The rule, that quoque emphasises the word which it follows, is sometimes not observed, especially when a word is repeated for rhetorical effect:

I. 361 Culpa sui nocuit: nocuit quoque culpa capellae. I. 653 [713] Dum desint hostes, desit quoque causa triumphi.

IV. 567 [633] Nunc gravidum pecus est: gravidae quoque semine terrae.

II. 129.

Res tamen ante dedit : sero quoque vera tulisti
Nomina.
