other emendations are lateque et cominus Avant.; lateque comeis obit omnia M.
119. lamentatast, laetabatur, luctabatur, are proposed.
140. Or (miscra) ' these miseries.'
174. If in Creta is read, religasset would be 'moored,' 'made fast.' See note on 84.
178. Idomeneos, prob. = 'Cretan.' Dia is Naxos, but the emendation is conjectural; the codd. have Ydoneos, idoneos, idmoneos.
200, 201. mente, as often in Catullus, is little more than an adverbial sign.
205. Or (quo motu = cuius motu) 'at his gesture.'
213. Or (castae) 'as she left the walls of the virgin goddess.'
227. Or (decet) 'as the sail, &c., befits our grief.'
254. If quae tum is read, we must suppose a lacuna after 253: if qui tum (of codd.), a lacuna after 255, unless we read horum 256, with Lachmann: if quicum (B.), bacchantes must be taken as = βάκχαι. 254, 255 are more appropriate to Bacchanalians than to Satyrs and Sileni.
270. proclivas or 'into ridges.'
283. Or (parit) 'brings to birth,' 'creates.'
287. Or (doctis) ' learned.' Other emendations are claris (Ital.), crebris (Lach.).

296. silici may be abl., or (Scythica) 'with Scythian chain.'
309. Or (annoso niveae) 'snow-white bands rested on their aged heads'; codd. have at roseo niveae.
320. Haec=hae.
330. The codd. have quae tibi flexo animo mentis perfundat amorem. I print Muretus' emendation, which is accepted by almost all editors.
362. morti, not = cadaveri, but Polyxena is spoken of as a victim due for the death of Achilles, i.e. to the dead Achilles.
