ἡνιοστρόφου δρόμου ἐξωτέρω: Libri ἡνιοστρόφου, nisi quod Rob. ἠνιοστρόφου habet. Schutzius in posterioribus editionibus Stanleii coniecturam, ήνιοστροφώ, probatam etiam Blomfieldio, admisit. Recepi ἡνιοστρόφον, quod in prima editione Schützius scripserat. Interpungitur vulgo post εξωτέρω, quam interpunctionem sola Robortelli editio non habet. Neque interpungendum ibi est. Γάρ ab initio longius remotum nullam hic offensionem habet, quoniam statim post φέρουσι, ex quo sententia pendet, positum est. V. ad Ag. v. 1106.
