The Clausula in Ammianus Marcellinus. 237 



290. 27 (plebs omnis) Georg-ium petit raptumque diversis mul- 

 candi j^eneribus proterens et conculcans divaricatis pc- 

 dibvis Giinther (Quacst. Aiiini. Crit. p. 36j pointed out 

 that a verb is zvai/fing at the end of the sentence and 

 suggested divaricatis (conficit/ pedibus, ivhich Jills out 

 the clausula. 



294. 17 Galli similis fratris licet incruentus Insert hie, compar- 

 ing II. 258. 26 semet ad vana stadia Caesaris Commodi 

 convertisset licet hie incruentus. 

 27 quorum proceritatem Homerus in inmensum tollit Read 



extollit. 

 31 stipatusque mulierculis litabat litabat is Gardthausen s 

 conjecture for the ms. laetabatur, ivhich should be retained. 

 See Schneider p. 20. 



302. 19 Pentapolim a Libya sicciore disparatam V dissoratam, 

 Gelenius disparatam ; read discretam. 



306. 14 The clausula confirms Valesius' emendation of non to 

 Platon, thus disposing of Gutschmidfs suggestion Jesus. 



308. 24 interitum jiropinquare monstrabatur This is the reading of 

 Accursius: V has monstrabant. i?*'^!*^/ monstrabat iBentl. j. 

 II. 31. 21 ita capitibus diligenter apta ut inbracteatis, etc. Read 

 aptata ut with Gelenius; V aptauit. Cf I. 102. 24. 

 47. 27 riparum aggeribus humana manu structis structis is 

 Haiipt's conjecture : V~ distructis. We should probably 

 read exstructis. 

 53. 2 aliaque herbarum genera tristissima. The manuscript 

 reads genera ut tristissima, which Giinther (Philol. 50. 

 p. 72) properly corrects to vel. 

 71. 29 Read jiartiti ^sunt) numeri. 

 84. 19 Read suorum (est) manibus, 



108. 18 nihil alienum putare quod ad Romani imperii pertinet 

 salutem salutem is Haupt's conjecture : V reads latus, 

 which gives a good clausula. The figure of speech is not 

 bolder than many in Ammianus. 



114. 11 ex eo anhelantes The rhythm warrants C. F. IV.Miiller's 

 reading ex eo (altius) anhelantes. 



129. 7 cuius hunc novimus esse textum. This is the reading 

 of Gelenius and Accursius : V has fuisse novimus textum 

 ivhich is commended not only by the clausula, but by the 

 recurrence of a similar phrase in 200. 6 (cuiusi hanc 

 primordialem fuisse novimus causam.
