page 25 note 1 Here the interwoven alliteration ‘agrestes patrem Geticis praesidet arvis’ is combined in a characteristic manner. So, too, V. 40, ‘veterum non immemor ille parentum gratatur reduces, et gaza laetus agresti excipit.’ Also III. 279, ‘portus ab accessu ventorum immotus, et ingens ipse, sed horrificis iuxta tonat Ae-tna ruinis, in-ter-dumque atram prorumpit ad ae-ther-a. nubem’; and I. 12, ‘urbs antiqua fuit, Tyrii tenuere coloni, Car-tha-go, Italiam contra Tiberinaque longe ostia.’
