18. PHRYGIVM ... SENEM. At Il III 149-50 Antenor is listed among the 'δημογέροντες ... γήραϊ δὴ πολέμοιο πεπαυμένοι' sitting on the Trojan wall who see Helen approach.
19. DOMITO ... AB HECTORE TROIAM. 'The story of Troy after the death of Hector'. Gothanus II 121 has the interpolation DOMITAM ... AB HECTORE, which Korn printed.
19. CAMERINVS. Nothing is known of this poet.
20. SVA PHYLLIDE. Presumably Tuscus' equivalent of Gallus' Lycoris. However, as Professor A. Dalzell points out, the reference to love poetry is odd in a sequence of epic and didactic writers.
20. TVSCVS is not otherwise certainly known. Kiessling (Coniectanea Propertiana, Greifswald, 1875) proposed that he was the "Demophoon" addressed in Prop II xxii; this suggestion has won support from Birt [RhM XXXII [1877] 414), Bardon (61; I owe these references to him), and André, but does not seem extremely convincing, especially since Propertius had been writing some three decades earlier. Merkel, in his edition of the Tristia (p. 373), identifies him with the grammarian Clodius Tuscus, without offering a reason.
21. VELIVOLIQVE MARIS VATES. It is not known who this was, or what the precise subject of the poem might have been; perhaps it resembled the Halieutica. André mentions that Varro Atacinus has been proposed, but does not name the author of the suggestion, which seems rather fanciful; as he points out, Varro had died some fifty years previously. Luck in his edition has proposed Abronius Silo, of whom two hexameters survive (Sen Suas II 19 = Morel 120), but, as André remarks, the fact that he, like Ovid, was a follower of the rhetor Porcius Latro is hardly sufficient evidence for the identification.
For ueliuolique see at v 42 ueliuolas ([p 224]).
22. CAERVLEOS ... DEOS = 'the gods of the sea'. Compare Met II 8 'caeruleos habet unda deos'.
23. ACIES LIBYCAS ROMANAQVE PROELIA. The poem may have concerned the Jugurthine war, or Caesar's African campaign; compare Fast IV 379-80 'illa dies Libycis qua Caesar in oris / perfida magnanimi contudit arma Iubae'.
