Extract

In his article ‘Manilius iv 681-95’, Antichthon iii (1969), 52-3, D. R. Shackleton Bailey (hereafter S.B.) defends certain statements made in his ‘Maniliana’, CQ vi (1956), 81-6, which I impugned in ‘Notes and Conjectures on the Astronomica of Manilius’, Antichthon ii (1968), 63-7. They concern the following passage:

iv 681 quod superest Europa tenet . . .

686 maxima terra uiris et fecundissima doctis artibus: in regnum florentes oris Athenae; Sparta manu, Thebae diuis, et rege uel uno princeps Pella domus, Troiani gratia belli;

690 Thessalia Epirosque potens uicinaque utrisque Illyris, et Threce Martem sortita colonum, et stupefacta suos inter Germania partus; Gallia per census, Hispania maxima bellis; Italia in summa, quam rerum maxima Roma inposuit terris caeloque adiungitur ipsa.

687 artibus Housman, urbibus Ω 689 Pella Schrader, ilia Ω

690 utrisque conieci, ripis Ω
