Mr. Jardine will thank your correspondent for pointing out an error or two which should be corrected in another edition. At p. 44., for "χθο," in the margin, should be printed "_sub verbo_." The word in the MS. is a contraction to that effect: the capital "V" has a curved stroke across the first line of the "V," followed by "_bo_." Generally the _Dubium_, in alphabetic works of the kind referred to, ranks under some alphabetic word, one or more, as it may happen; but in Em. Sà's work the word _Dubium_ comes under the letter D., and this is meant to be expressed. At p. 49. the footnote should be omitted, as the Vulgate, which is followed, calls the 1st of _Samuel_ the 1st of _Kings_. The first line of p. 56. should have "_autem_" instead of "_antea_." I have inspected the MS. carefully, and therefore speak with confidence. EUPATOR. NOTES ON VIRGIL. (_Continued from_ p. 308.) IV. "Illum expirantem transfixo pectore flammas Turbine corripuit scopuloque infixit acuto." Virg. _Æn._ I. 48. "TURBINE; volubilitate ventorum. SCOPULO; saxo eminenti."--_Servius._ "Hub sie im Wirbel empor, und spiesst' an ein scharfes Gestein ihn."--_Voss._ "Ipsum vero Pallas fulmine percussum procellæ vi scopulo etiam allisit."--_Heyne._ "Impegit rupi acutæ."--_Ruæus._ "Infixit. _Inflixit_, lectionem quorundam MSS. facile prætulissem, et quod statim præcesserit _transfixo_, unde evadit inconcinna cognatæ dictionis repetitio, et quod etiam Æn. x. 303.: "'Namque inflicta vadis, dorso dum pendet iniquo,' "si Sidon. Apoll. v. 197. haud tueretur vulgatam scripturam: "'Fixusque Capharei Cautibus, inter aquas flammam ructabat Oileus.'"--_Wakefield._ To which criticism of Wakefields's, Forbiger adds: "Præterea etiam acuto scopulo _infigendi_ voc. accommodatius videtur quam _infligendi_." And Wagner: "acuto scopulo _infigi_ melius." This interpretation and these criticisms are founded altogether on a false conception of the meaning of the word _infigere_, which is never to fix _on_, but always either to fix _in_, or to fix _with_, i.e. pierce _with_. _Scopulo infixit acuto_, _fixed or pinned_ down or to the ground _with_ a sharp rock; _i.e._ hurled a sharp-pointed rock on him, so as to nail him to the ground. So (_Æn._ XII. 721.) "Cornua obnixi infigunt," fix their horns, not _on_, but _in_; infix their horns; stick their horns into each other; stick each other with their horns: _q.d._ Cornibus se mutuo infigunt: and, exactly parallel to our text: "Saturnius me sic _infixit_ Jupiter, Jovisque numen Mulcibri adscivit manus. Hos ille _cuneos_ fabrica crudeli _inserens_, Perrupit artus; qua miser sollertia Transverberatus, castrum hoc Furiarum incolo." Cicero (translating from Æschylus), _Tuscul. Quæst._ II. 10.
