Notes on the current edition

Metamorphoses

1. The MSS have here quamquam. The correction was made by Beroaldus.
2.
3. The MSS have something like praetereunte me orato. The correction to praetereuntem deo irato (i.e. Mars) is due to Crusius.
4.
5. The insertion of quam seems to be necessary here. as suggested by Luetjohann.
6.
7. This is Oudendorp's suggestion for the MSS' admissuram veterem.
8.
9. After compilabat the MSS have cidit, which is no word and does not make sense. Ceciditque will construe, though the sudden change from imperfect to perfect is awkward.
10.
11. After ferinas the MSS have voluptates. This will not construe, and seems like a gloss on libidines or ferinas nuptias which has crept into the text.
12.
13. There is a gap in the best MS between amatoria and opera, into which a later hand has written criminatus. Protinus, suggested both by Leo and Plasberg, makes good sense.
14.
15. One MS has et; another (the best) a gap before summo Colvin's ex seems satisfactory.
