ing word 'nempe.' Jacobus Cruquius barely mentions 

 them in his commentary as the words of a 'simius Hora- 

 tianus.' Bentley omits them without mention. 



Others have defended the lines. Gesner restored them. 

 Valart thought they were the work of Horace. Heindorf, 

 followed by Bothe and others, thought that Horace had 

 written them as an introduction to this satire but after- 

 wards threw them aside and commenced in a different 

 tone; or that they were an unfinished introduction to some 

 satire discovered after his death and, with the addition of 

 the expletive words 'ut redeam illuc,' prefixed to Sat. I. 

 10, on account of the similarity of subject. Jo. Val. 

 Francke j)roposed to insert them after verse 51 of this 

 satire, Reisig after verse 71. Morgenstern held that Horace 

 had written the lines, but afterwards rejected them. 

 Schmid'' virtually said that they were the work of Horace. 

 Apitz* ascribed them to Horace, but bracketed verse 8. 

 Urlichs^ said that the old question is really one of sub- 

 jective feeling as to what is worthy or unworthy of Horace. 

 He thought the lines genuine, though he admitted their 

 obscurity and considered the text corrupt. Doderlein 

 found nothing seriously objectionable in the lines, and 

 was quite certain of their genuineness. He maintained 

 that the fact that they are not found in many mss. 

 does not prove them spurious; this might be the result 

 of chance, or even of a recension by Horace himself, 

 W. Teuffel's*' verdict was similar to Morgenstern's. 



The text of these obscure lines is very corrupt. The 

 mss. of most importance for determining the original 

 reading are FA'/S". F, the principal representative of the 

 large third class, is the assumed common source of the 

 ' gemelli Parisini' w 7974 and 4' 7971; A' the archetype of 

 a similar pair, A Leidensis and 1 Parisiims; /5' that of 

 /5 Berncnsis and f Franckeranus (now Leeuicardensis) .
