=12. SALVTANDI MVNERE ... TVI.= Professor R. J. Tarrant points out to me the notably prosaic use of the defining gerundive. =13. GRATATVS= has the force of a present participle, as is shown by _cum dulcibus ... uerbis_; André mistranslates 'après t'avoir félicité, je t'embrasserai avec des mots tendres'. The perfect participle of deponent verbs takes past or present meaning indifferently, according to context. =16. VT CAPERET FASTVS VIX DOMVS VLLA MEOS= seems strange, as does Némethy's explanation 'poeta elatus superbia tectum uertice tangere sibi uidetur'. Perhaps the distich means something like 'on that day I would be filled with a pride which no ancestry, no matter how illustrious, could justify'. =16. FASTVS.= 'Haughtiness'--Wheeler. The same sense at _AA_ II 241-42 'exue _fastus_, / curam mansuri quisquis amoris habes' and _Aen_ III 326-27 (Andromache speaking) 'stirpis Achilleae _fastus_ iuuenemque superbum ... tulimus'. Ovid generally uses _fastus_ of the arrogance of women to their suitors (_Am_ II xvii 9, _Met_ XIV 762, _Fast_ I 419); the word is not found elsewhere in the poetry of exile. =17. DVMQVE LATVS SANCTI CINGIT TIBI TVRBA SENATVS.= Compare iv 41 'inde domum repetes toto comitante senatu'; Ovid is here obviously referring to the earlier procession _from_ the new consul's house. =20. LATERIS ... LOCVM= is a strange phrase, but is made easier by _latus ... cingit_ in 17. Compare also such passages as _Met_ II 448-49 'nec ... iuncta deae lateri nec toto est agmine prima' and _Aen_ X 160-61 'Pallas ... sinistro / adfixus lateri'. It is possible that _latus_ here means 'companion', as at Martial VI lxviii 4 'Eutychos ille, tuum, Castrice, dulce latus'. =20. HABVISSE= is equivalent to _habere_, as is shown by _esse_ in the preceding line. For the idiom, see at viii 82 _imposuisse_ (p 282) and xi 2 _habuisse_ (p 361). =21. TVRBA QVAMVIS ELIDERER.= _Elidere_ similarly used of a crowd's jostling at Sen _Clem_ I 6 1; an extended description at Juvenal III 243-48. =23. PROSPICEREM.= Owen in his second edition, Wheeler, and Lenz follow Ehwald (_KB_ 64) in printing _B_'s ASPICEREM. Ehwald argued that _prospicerem_, 'survey from a distance', was inappropriate in view of the preceding _turba quamuis eliderer_. But the verb should be taken not with the pentameter that precedes, but with the one that follows, 'densaque quam longum turba teneret iter': _prospicerem_ seems very appropriate. Riese conjectured RESPICEREM 'look back at', but emendation seems unnecessary.
