Commentary

  • 1.

    From the textual point of view, this line brings the correct lectio against all the medieval tradition. In fact, it can be read: coepisse e[st aliqua], while all the manuscripts bring confecisse est aliqua. Starting from Klotz 1923, coepisse was accepted in the text by some editors: Bellardi 1981 and the most recent Ricchieri 2020. Moreover, coepisse is indirectly confirmed as a good lesson from Ps. Asconius: “aliquando coepisse, correctio erroris in melius” .
