[1991] Pertundet. So Ennius, "latus pertudit hasta." Juv., vi., 46, "Mediam pertundite venam." vii., 26, "Aut claude et positos tineâ pertunde libellos." Deliciet Gerlach explains by "Juvare, voluptatem creare:" and reads "Utere vi atque videbis."
[1992] Fortis etiam "dives." Non.
[1993] Gerlach retains Musconis. Tagax, from the old form tago. "Furunculus a tangendo." Fest, "light-fingered." Perscribere may mean (like conscribellare in Catullus) "to mark letters upon," i. e., brand him with the word Fur on the hand: hence trium literarum homo.
[1994] Habendo. Cf. Virg., Georg., iii., 159, "Et quos aut pecori malint summittere habendo."
[1995] Involem. Ter., Eun., V., ii., 20, "Vix me contineo quin involem in capillum." So "Castra involare." Tac., Hist., iv., 33.
[1996] Angina, "genus morbi; eo quod angat." Non. Cf. Plaut., Trin., II., iv., 139, "Sues moriuntur anginâ." Most., I., iii., 61, "In anginam ego nunc me velim vorti, ut veneficæ illi fauces prehendam."
[1997] Consternere is applied "to preparing a couch." Cf. Catul., lxiv., 163, "Purpureâve tuum consternens veste cubile." This seems to be the meaning here; as there seems to be a vibration of the reading between consternitur, nobis lectus, and vetus, for Restes. Cf. ad lib. vi., Fr. 13.
[1998] Dusa's conjecture is followed. Scaliger supposes temnere to be an old form of the perfect "tempsere."
[1999] Præstringere "non valdè stringere et claudere." Non.
