In recent years important contributions to the interpretation of the eighth book of Lucan have been made by Professor Postgate (C.Q., vol. I., pp. 75–79, 216–222), and by Mr.J.D.Duff (Journ.of Phil., vol. XXXII., pp.125–135).The following notes make a further attempt to solve some of the many problems presented by the book.
