Abstract

The article examines the reading coctaque (Pseud. 164) in the Palatine MSS., which is certainly corrupted, and the conjecture structaque; it then goes on to investigate the indirect tradition, represented by a quotation from Servius Auctus, Commentary on Aen. 1, 478: the scholium contains the reading 'unctaque', supported also by a passage from Cicero’s Paradoxa. Related to the context the reading 'unctaque' might be right, and 'ungere' might be used with the rare meaning of "to polish silver".
