⁴ W.'s own view of the ordering of the poems (pp. 96–8) is that the ‘early’ Marathus poems were put in an unemphatic position towards the end of the collection in deference to Octavian's moral views.

⁵ W. could perhaps have made more of parallels with Propertius' first book, in particular the paraklausithyron 1.16, and poem 1.1 with its saga motif 19–24 and its similar ending (with Tib. 1.2, 89–98 cf. Prop. 1.1.35–8).
