Extract

In his article ‘Notes and Conjectures on the Astronomica of Manilius’, Antichthon ii (1968), 63 ff., of which he has been kind enough to send me a copy, Mr D. B. Gain discusses the following passage:

iv 681 quod superest Europa tenet….

686 maxima terra viris et fecundissima doctis

artibus: in regnum florentes oris Athenae;

Sparta manu, Thebae divis, et rege vel uno

princeps Pella domus, Troiani gratia belli;

Thessalia Epirosque potens vicinaque 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

695 imposuit terris caeloque adiungitur ipsa.

687 artibus Housman, urbibus Ω 689 Pella Schrader, ilia Ω 690 utrisque Gain, ripis Ω
