On the Text of Juvenal I. 115.1

Published online by Cambridge University Press:  11 February 2009

Extract

Amongst the readings of the Parisian codex collated by Mr. Stuart (supra pp. 1–7) which he classes as interpolations is one whose singularity at once arrests attention. In the well-known passage, I. 113 sqq., where all known MSS. including P have

etsi, funesta Pecunia, templo

nondum habitas, nullas nummorum ereximus aras,

ut colitur Pax atque Fides Victoria Virtus

quaeque salutato crepitat Concordia nido,

II presents firma instead of atque.
