Addendvm on Apvleivs Glosses in the ‘Abolita’ Glossary

Extract

In my article in the last number of the Class. Quart., dealing with Apuleius glosses in the ‘Abolita’ Glossary, there should have been, on p. 41, a note explaining the gloss ‘Aerugo: sanguisuga’ (p. 86, 10);

What has happened to give the item this form? Perhaps the original entries were as follows:

‘Aerugo: <?>’ (Met. 1. 21).

‘<Hirudo>: sanguisuga’ (? Met. 6, 26).

‘Aerugo’ must have been altered to ‘Herugo,’ and through confusion the two glosses became merged in one.
